Hi Laura, Your attitude is good, keep it up! For me, going through radiation was like pulling a heavy load (like oxen would do). Never fast but slow consistant pulling. It becomes a mind game but you can do it. Hopefully your early side effects will not progress and will remain tolerable.


Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
