I was diagnosed with cancer May of 2025 and I'm still dealing with post treatment symptoms anyone dealing with the same thing.
Hi Hugh.
What was the treatment And when did you finish
i’m a good few years down the line but still contend with a dry mouth that breaks my sleep at night. There are a few other niggles but nothing I can’t ignore.
It did take me a year to be happy with how I was. I had six weeks of RT.
Hi beesuit
I had a cancerous mass on my tonsil left side.. I had 30 radiation treatments 7 chemotherapy treatments.
Still have saliva problems appetite problems sleep problems fatigue problems.
My last radiation treatment was the 10th of November 2025.
Tons of anxiety and depression
Hi Hugh
For my saliva I chew sugar free gum which really helps.
Fatigue just takes ages to go but it will eventually.
Tons of anxiety and depression
Yes, it sucks. We all get a form of PTSD. Do you have somebody outwith the family you can talk to ? Is there a Maggie's you can visit? They are brilliant. I can point you to The Mouth cancer Foundation which has a weekly Zoom meeting. Some people find that really helpful.
There is good piece by a psychologist who used to look after cancer patients
It's about feelings after treatment. It's HERE
It's well worth a read.
