Thx Parvez 😊 I heard that the week after treatment complete will be horrible, any idea I can be prepared for this big challenge? Also now my throat got a thick white film inside, even I have panadol regularly, the pain still caused me hard to drink water (nausea when drinking), doctor gave me bottle of pink liquid so I can use it before meal, but for daily regular drinking do you have any better advice? Really appreciate 🙏

Hi sch, Thx for your concern, haven't found any answer yet, coz the radio therapy will start soon, if there's no other option then I have no choice, even the dentist told me the risk is not that high but I still pretty worry about it.

I was diagnosed tonsil cancer weeks ago, already met oncologist in Peter mac cancer center and they setup a treatment plan for me including radio+chemo therapy for 7 weeks, yesterday dentist from Peter mac checked my teeth before planning CT and told me few decayed teeth need to be extracted, coz my treatment gonna start soon so she suggested to extract the teeth 6 weeks after treatment so I don't need to delay the radiation therapy, but as far as I know it's high risk to get Osteoradionecrosis if extract teeth after radiation, I really tangled what should I choose??? Sincerely hope anyone have similar experience can give me some advice, and guide me how to prepare for the incoming big challenge.Many thx!!!
