Hi There,

My name is Minh, i'm 35yr old female from Perth Australia. I have just finished 3 rounds of cisplatin and 34 rounds of IMRT. At the begining and during treatment i was doing so well but now that everything is finished - i feel like i'm falling apart. Everything that seems different makes me panic and causes me to break down in tears. Its only been three weeks since treatment finished and i dont know whether i'm impatient or not.

There are two things that really worry me at the moment. The first one being a sore in my mouth that is underneath my tongue (on the other side of where the found the cancer) doesnt seem to be getting better when all the sores/ulcers are healing pretty well. The second thing is that i'm getting a persistent cough every nite that is stopping me from sleeping. Codeine Linctus helps but i'm worried that this is a sign of cancer spreading to the back of my throat. Has anyone else experience this as part of the healing process? Please help me, i'm struggling with these issues. I dont see my ENT doc for another two months and dont know who else to ask. Thank you.
