Ddcoo one year on with tongue cancer

[Ddcoo]

Hi everyone, it was a year last week since I had my operation for tongue cancer and thought I would give a little catch up on my situation.
since I finished the radiotherapy and chemotherapy I have made gradual progress. My surgeon only wants to see me every two months now as there are no real problems except for the occasional dose of oral thrush which is easily treated.


I have more energy now although if I do too much I get a bit tired.
It was great being able to eat a christmas dinner this year as I was being tube fed last christmas. I dont have many problems eating but meat is a bit difficult due to the texture, but I can assure you that the brandy trifle slipped down a treat (ha ha).

I would like to thank everyone who supported me through this ordeal, I can't thank you enough for the support I got from you all and I hope that you all had a peaceful christmas.

Thank you Tessar andCatia for you kind comments, its good to be back in the real world. This illness has made me realise how fragile life is and I should just get on with it with as little panic as possible, but it is difficult .to change the habit of a life time, but I am trying. Happy New Year to you both.

I am soooo late in the game on this, and I apologize. I haven't been back on the forum for a while but lately have found my way back for a bit. While here, I was wondering how you were doing and hoping to see an update.

I know it's a bit dated, but I am so glad you were doing well at Christmas and hope things are still going just as well and improving every day for you. You were an inspiration for me and I am so happy for you.

Wising you all the best and hope you get to read this,
Jess :hugs:
