in Head and Neck Cancer #1

Finished rads today....gotta say I'm in a hell of a lot better shape this time, than the first time around.  Partly (I'm sure) is due to having 10 less treatments than the first time...and the fact that they were aimed below saliva glands and taste buds, but above anything that could make a person feel funky. 

I am NOT getting this crap again!!

    My hubby and I are coming into our first and hopefully last fight with this monster.  Your kind and encouraging words have helped him so much.

    May this do the trick, and also never raise it's ugly head again.

    So glad

    So glad to hear you are done and came out in relatively good shape. I hope you heal quickly and get back to your usual , well I was going to say activities, but somehow "shenanigans" seems more suitable. Prayers answered. Wishing you well!

    Congradulations

    I am so happy you finihed radiation and I am sorry you had to go through this torture twice.

    Was your cancer was positive for the HPV virus?

    I pray for a NED on your next scan.

    over

    P51,

    Very good, I am glad it was less difficult than the 1st time around.

    Feeling “funky” is a good way to describe this experience.

    I hope none of us step in this crap again.

    Your Oregon bud,

    Matt

    Good to hear the rads are done, and hope they got it all. Best advice I can give is to keep with the ENT and having scans done on the regular schedule down the road. Keep it in the Positive, and forward you go, C-free.

    Good on Ya!

    Good to hear you weathered through it OK.  Somehow, "...not as bad as the first time" doesn't sound right, but we'll take your word for it.

    Hi P

    Glad to hear it is over again and that you did so well the second time. Now like you said to keep it away so it never comes back again.

     

    Hope it is not too cold where you are
