Hey Naomi,
I’m over 7 years out from stage IV throat cancer treatments!

I had 35 heavy radiation and 3 rounds Cisplatin.

Cisplatin doesn’t tend to cause hair loss but the radiation did cause loss to the back of my head though it came back it is thinner now.

As far as taste; I did loose my taste but most things came back after a year or so except for chocolate, chocolate still doesn’t taste right.

I was on a feeding tube for nearly a year because I was unable to swallow.
Swallowing food and sometimes liquid are still difficult and sometimes dangerous!

If they caught yours in stage I you should have a great survival rate!

MOJO
