Hello Anita, life post treatment can be scary or substantial, depending on one's attitude. Any bit of discomfort can remind you of recurrence. Anxiety level ascends when the appointment is drawing near and descends when the doctor tells you that everything is fine. I learn to put all my effort in strengthening my body by eating healthy food, having enough rest and doing exercise every day. I think I have never had such a 'full' life before. My life style has changed a great deal. Before I was diagnosed with cancer, I was a workaholic putting immense stress on myself to climb up my career ladder. I ate a lot of meat and junk food without doing any exercise. Two years post diagnosis, other than the extreme dryness in my mouth and the hoarse voice, I have nothing to complain about. Sometimes I even forget that I am a cancer patient. Anita, I don't know much about your husband's hoarseness and sore throat but they are very common side effects of oral cancer patients post treatment. Both Dinah and Powerlifter have described the situation well.
By the way, Dinah, I tend to email you personally about your treatment progress but have not been able to locate your address. Maybe others also wish to know how well you have been doing to combat your liver mets.
Judging from your active participation on this forum, I feel you must be doing great, right?
Take care everybody, life can definitely be better and better after treatment.
