Hullo

In the last six weeks I've have a biopsy and scans and on Friday got the good news..not malignant. I am very lucky.

Felt sad celebrating while my friend is battling with the after effects of radiation.
Five months post treatment he's very, very thin and still unable to swallow much, he never had a PEG and won't take liquid thickening products supplied by hospital.

He now can't have any more prescriptions for cocaine mouthwash .. Has anyone any ideas about an effecive substitute?
I also wonder that he's not had a scan - they say it's too early because cancer cells may still be dying. On this site I get the impression that scans are usually carried out about three months after treatment.
Is this true?
Very best wishes and love to everyone
