  • Broadly speaking, I'm almost back to normal. I have one lymph node under my chin that they are still monitoring, but it's the size of a grain of sugar. The original tumour on my tonsil was about the size of a squash ball, so it's all much better. I guess, long term, I'm probably due for a relapse, but I'm looking at 10-15 years before the statistics start stacking against me.
    I'm having trouble eating though, because the radiotherapy cooked most of my saliva glands. I can eat for about five minutes before my mouth dries up, and some foods (particularly bread, cheese and rice) are way worse. I'm finding it a struggle to get enough calories down my neck.
    My dietician tells me I'm allowed to eat belly-pork for every meal if that's what it takes to keep the weight up. I might die of a heart attack, but the cancer bugger won't get me for a good few years, at least!

  • shit dude, glad to hear you are on the road to recovery.
    what about smoothies? loads of protein shake in there?
    my thoughts go out to you and glad you are looking out the other side now.
