in Head and Neck Cancer #1

Just a quick update. Went to my Onc doc for my 15 month check up. all good. Slight dry mounth on right side of throat mostly at night/when I wake - other than that....100% back to normal. Right side of neck shows slight dryness/scarring from proton rads. Happy with results.

    Congrats!

    Glad to read the good news!  You and I are running just about neck and neck (no pun intended) - my 15 month follow up was a couple weeks ago, but actual 15 month anniversary was last month.  Sounds like you are doing a little bit better than me regarding side effects. I hope I can catch up to you someday. :-)

    Keep up the great results!

    Way to go Skiddog!! Congrats!

     

    So glad you are NED!  Congrats.  Hope you have many more to come!

    Fantastic!!

    I'm really happy for you. I am 13 months out post treatment for Tonsil cancer. 35 rads and 3 high dose Cisplatin treatment. I too am just about where you are as side effects go. We are indeed very very fortunate to not have many side effects right now. Let's keep it that way!!
