Cancer Support

SCC stage IV on my tonsils, but got a reprieve and only had 33!
It is awful. Everybody has some or all of those side affects, but each individual reacts differently to the radiation. I did not use a feeding tube and was able to drink Ensure type stuff throughout. I had a couple of bad burns on my neck that left scars and I felt the worse the week after treatments stopped.
You will get through it. I have been cancer free for 9 years.

P.S. You should check if there is a SPOHNC chapter near you. The members have all been in your shoes and can suggest many tricks for dealing with issues. They will help you when you need it. I still attend meetings and try to help those just starting the journey.
