Hi there - you and I have had similar cancers - and there are quite a few of us here... ( women - relatively young, non smokers, not heavy drinkers ) - Interesting new demographic - anyway - welcome... Sorry you have to be here but it's a great forum. Most of us here have had rads and chemo and the responses to it have run the gauntlet. Some get through it ok... Some really struggle - most fall into the midline of not great but doable. Hope you are in the top percentile

The mask looks horrific - I'm not claustrophobic but when they were making my mask. I admit I was shocked at being locked down to the table. it's for your own good to keep you from moving. After that it was ok... I closed my eyes and zoned out ... If you are claustrophobic there are meds as you probably know. - eat up... Healthy foods if you can... Eating and taste begins to get hard and unpleasant at around week 3 -4. If you have any questions feel free to ask and good luck with everything. Hugs!
