4 weeks post treatment today

4 weeks post treatment all signed back to my ENT consultant who will see me on 7th September for a follow up appointment. Energy levels returning well running every day, off to arrange a back to work medical with the company doctor back to work on Monday hopefully. Everything appears to be almost back to normal for me which feels kind of weird. Taste & saliva is about 80%, slight sore throat still right at the back when I swallow, tinnitus hardly there and hearing isn’t quite as good.  I have no concerns as to whether the treatment has worked or not if it has that’s good if it hasn’t I will cross that bridge when I come to it, my feelings are the same regarding future recurrence. Not sure why I have come through this with so few side effects after reading so many posts on here, long term I will have to see.

I had a great team of people looking after my treatment at  Galway University hospital, Ireland and Cancer care West lodge on the hospital grounds were I stayed for free Monday to Friday. 

This is a great network for support & information

    Good News!

    My 4 week post treatment is tomorrow.  Allthough I am not as far along as you are in recovery, I am doing a lot better.  I still can't eat due to sore throat.  I still get tired pretty easy.  Other than that, I feel great.  I am looking to return to work in 2 weeks.
