"Update Bit worried My neuralgia is back, but even more worrying is consistent acid indigestion preventing my ability to eat. Just tried to eat but it brings on acid indigestion straight away, this morning had to pull over to retch after a cuppa tea and porridge, all but strange" Tea and porridge gives me instant acid reflux. Some foods are worse for it then others and tea makes everything so much worse. You might be able to take Omeprazole or Lanzoprazole if you speak to the hospital. | |||

"Just had second monthly check up still all good, but seeing speach therapist in Worcester to try and help reduce the swelling on my throat, and try and help with the narrow passage I now have to swallow, this is very difficult to eat solid foods now.. Digestion is still an issue I’m continually in gaviscon to try and keep food down, otherwise like yesterday I get bad heartburn and retch most of it back up!" Glad to hear your check up,went well again. It sounds a very long road to recovery for you. I hope you find a solution to the stomach problems so you can build your strength back up again x | |||

"So it’s been months since I posted about this, thought I should update my blog, so 1st year of remission went very well, I’m doing fine, then in November I had a TIA (mini stroke) blinded me temporary in my right eye, then eyesight was out of focus and extremely dizzy. (Symptoms so you are aware) They scanned my neck, ultrasound in emergency ward. So I found out the intensive radiotherapy has killed everything in my neck, my thyroid gland, lymph glands etc. They told me that they more or less expect minor strokes as par for the course as my arteries have shrunk due to the treatment It’s very scary stuff really, so I discussed a few things with my doctor and decided to give up work, I can’t be around stress anymore. So this is really where I am today, thanks for reading the entire thread is still on here for those who haven’t read this. Just search cancer of the throat. I would like to add I’m one of the lucky ones, I have for now escaped death. Each week that goes by is a week more I had that I probably shouldn’t have had.. Yet earlier this month I got the news s close friend died of his cancer. An ex swinger too. RIP Adrian Porter" Very poignant..sorry for your loss Stella and good luck with your recovery xx | |||

"I’m feeling particularly down at the moment, I’m not convinced they got it, my throat seems to be getting worse, now in the last 4-5 days I’m in consistent pain in my right shoulder, so bad I can’t get comfortable, can’t sleep, it’s horrid.. I’m so tired of being ill" my dad had throat cancer and he had chemo and it went. Anyway in may he had a pain in his shoulder and kneck at the bak. Turned out he has cancer in his spine and he died 2 weeks later | |||

"So update is due, since December I have been in constant pain in my right arm Initially I thought it was tennis elbow, as my elbow is really tender, but the aching pains go Down through my wrist into my fingers etc, now getting pain in my shoulder too, wearing a wrist splint now permanently it doesn’t really help.. But, hey I do as am told, it seems they think it’s nerve damage caused by the intensive radiotherapy I had back in autumn 2018.. God is it that long ago... I’m seeing a consultant Monday and will update then.. All the best, love you all lots Stella xx" Best wishes Stella. My mom had good news that they’ve got all the cancer in her throat and she’s clear so far. No more treatment but will have regular check ups x | |||
