So after 5 years now 😃 off remission I am 56 years old too. I feel great just a big change on my energy level. If I go for a bicycle ride for an hour or two it takes me two days to feel strong again does that happen to you?

Great video . I also had the cancer at base of the tongue and spread to limth node . Had the cancer removed from base of tongue and both tonsils a peg fitted the 6 weeks off radiotherapy and 2 hits of chemotherapy lost all taste . Lost over 2 stone in weight and also dehydrated about 3 times. I was giver the all clear last month but 7 months after the last treatment I can't make enough saliva....dont know if it will ever come back so eating things like chicken/bread and other dry food is a no no basically also my love of sweets (candy)...cake are also a no no ....sweet things are very very sweet. I just pray I get back to a good quality off life as things are a little hard at the moment.
Thanks for this video.

Hello Brother Survivor: I had the same diagnosis, treatments and outcome. (With the addition of lung cancer). Going on three years post diagnosis. I savor, feel grateful, keep appointments including the scans. I eat (Mostly) the right foods and walk daily, 1-2 miles at minimum. I forgive myself quickly when I slip in some way. But I still worry too much; is that a sore throat or something more ominous? Is that a lump or my imagination? Haven't joined a support group because I hope to make cancer and remission background noise like music on an elevator but having trouble reducing my preoccupations. I wish the best for you, Joe. BTW, a lot of optimism coming out of current cancer research; not just burn, poison and cut, but breakthroughs on the cellular and molecular levels, too!

Good information Joe.
I finished my chemo/radiotherapy 7 weeks ago.
I have or had hopefully sinus cancer, it spread to 1 limth node..
Still can't accept certain foods..the stronger the taste, the less I can accept..
Maybe I'm trying too hard..but never lost my sense of humour.

Does anyone have any advice about chronic neck pain caused by radiation years after treatment?

[maxxdog]

I got this diagnosis 2 weeks ago, very helpful. How do I connect with other survivors?

[dinaobillo]

Hello sir. I am a nasopharyngeal cancer survivor. I am with my treatment. I undergo 7 chemotherapy cycles and 35 radiation sessions. The doctor declared that I was cancer-free already. But the problem is my throat is damaged and I have difficulties talking and I can't eat through my mouth now. 😢😢can you suggest some therapy for me to fix my mouth and throat?

[juliamcintyre]

I had cancer of the nasopharynx 20 years ago and all is well except i can't booze or smoke - suits me - but i can't - in this 21st century - find decent throat sweets to suck-as honey and lemon are too strong, TYRROZETS please come back, my throat is so bad it makes me cry...
