Hello Danbert, steve1 and JamesD,

I find it hard sometimes to discern between survivor guilt, which I have recognized it, and living life to its fullest given my daily side effects since caner free from HPV p16 positive in the spring of 2024. Lots of radiation to cure the cancer however since that ended in August/2024 I have terrible side effects of a dry mouth or xeorstomia and absolutely no appetite. I am currently going daily for two hours for hyperbaric oxygen Rx after reading it was successful for a patient with the same cancer and side effects from the US and the Mayo Clinic. I am slowly regaining my saliva after just over 30 sessions and going for 50. In all this survival band "beating" cancer or it going into remission and rejoicing where does quality of life come in. To me it isn't just not dying that counts but what is your QUALITY of life after surviving it. Any thoughts.
