My diagnosis and treatment appears to be the exact same as your husband's. Same timeframes and side effects.  I am 21 years post-treatment and live in the USA in the state of Oklahoma. I was 45 years old when diagnosed and treated and will turn 66 this month. There are many more mouth rinses available here today than there were then. One thing that helped the healing process for me was an aloe vera rinse. My wife was able to find it in a local health food store. I rinsed with it regularly and helped treat the burns and damage from radiation.  I hope this helps--and to know that someone is 21 years post where you are right now. Blessings and prayers from the U.S.!  ... View more

Another Survivor Shout-Out (from Oklahoma, USA)   The disase really stinks. But I am now 19 years and 3 months cancer free. I was stage 2+ tonsil cancer.  I won't lie. It hasn't been easy. But I'm still going strong, feeling good, just dealing with long-term effects of the radiation.  I just retired at age 64 and I'm enjoying my life with my best friend of 43 years, our 3 kids and 9 grandkids and still doing ministry (I was a pastor for 34 years). If I can help encourage anyone, don't hesitate to reach out. Blessings friends!  ... View more
