HI ALL

I'm still ticking along - had my April check, month five post radio, month nine from neck dissection and tonsillectomy that removed all detectable disease. Neck is still stiff, funny sensations and sag on chin from lymph drainage that comes and goes.

Looking for work but doors closed that were open a year ago yet am down to fourth and final selection on a couple of things.

Life slowly getting back normal, occasional anxiety and poking neck to much looking for bumps. This is a survivable thing with a short but hard road during treatments.

Feels a long time ago now, or maybe the mind doesn't want to go back there. A key feature is to keep positive and keep as fit as possible and healthy as you can, what you eat and drink, so can handle treatments as best as possible. Some I went through this with had treatment re planned.

Hows everyone doing?
