Very similar story with Simon. After treatment finished, his throat improved, then got sorer. His eating also, slightly improved then went backwards. He has been given the same advice by his medical team as mentioned by HankXavier.
He is now on the slow improve. I think he expected to get a lot better a lot sooner, but is now more realistic about the pace. It's such a long, drawn-out and uncomfortable treatment, it's no surprise people get absolutely fed up.
If Kevin is going back to work on 3 Jan he's doing very well, but do you think he may be going back too soon?
