Welcome to OCF. Perhaps you can give us a bit more information about your treatment course and when you do that, I'm sure there will be someone who can help you with hints and tips.

Tell us about your radiation treatment - that type of "seed radiation" while not entirely new, is certainly "newer" to me and I would like to know more about it. What type of chemo and frequency?

And, of course as you will note, we are a snoopy group - we like to know things like how old you are, did you have any of the typical risk factors (smoking, alcohol, HPV).

Will be great to get to know you and hopefully offer some assistance to you in this detour your life has taken!
