Navigating my way through throat cancer

@albion223 thank you very much. This is extremely helpful to hear from everyone about their experience through cancer. For now, I am trying to just stay patient and wait for the doctors orders on how to move forward with a treatment. I have been a bit tired lately. I assume it’s mostly stress at this point but I am also continuing with my normal exercise routines..

Patience…a skill that I have learned much about myself during my journey. Be kind to yourself and be patient with yourself and others.
Here’s the link to Stanford University that I found helpful …

Finally I’ve been going to an acupuncturist post radiation treatment to help reconnect my energy field and to stimulate saliva gland regeneration (studies have shown this to be effective) and I’m also taking turkey tail mushroom capsules (studies in Japan have found this helpful for stimulating immune system response in cancer patients)
Good luck!
