I did not have radiation, but I did have a surgery that has changed my life forever. I understand as we all do what you feel and anger is okay, as long as it is temporary, believe me I have my moments when the thought of living another 40 years like this is not pleasant at all. No one who has not been through a form of treatment for cancer of the head and neck could ever possibly understand, that is why this site is so important. Hang in there, vent when you like here and then move on, listen to the birds sing as spring approaches and be happy!
I have had to develop an attitude of gratitude through all of this pain. Not easy but it can be done. (on most days)
Wishing you sunshine and soft breezes.
