Long time member of CSN, but have been absent several years. 10 years ago husband diagnosed with stage 4 nasopharyngeal tumor. Treatment was successful in eliminating the cancer but radiation effects over the last 10 years have piled up. Hearing loss, no longer able to swallow so PEG tube feeding, tracheostomy, balance issues, bilateral vocal cord paralysis, losing lip/tongue articulation ability, hypo static blood pressure issues, vision problems. It seems like the radiation damage is ongoing and unstoppable like a slow moving tide I can’t hold back. Looking for acknowledgement that it’s hard and support to find joy. Started seeing a therapist for help in this too.
