late check in for 2022 almost 10 years since diagnosis
hello to old and new friends....want to let those recently diagnosed, that this cancer is not only survivable, but beatable too. I got my diagnosis of Squamous cell carcinoma, small tumor on rt tonsil, metastasized to lt. Standard chemo with cisplaitin, and radiation. I had immediate permanent severe hearing loss with tinnitus, and bad naseua for over year, lost 90 lbs. I was unable to eat via mouth for close to a year, but managed to save a weak swallow by drinking water and whole milk. In Nov of 2022 I will be 10 years cancer free. I feel blessed with every day. I know some of you need to hear this......THIS CANCER IS BEATABLE....
Love and prayers to all who have to endure this awfulness....
