I began 7 weeks of radiation and chemo for my HPV 16 cancer two weeks ago. It started in my left tonsil and then spread to a lymph node. No surgery, just chemo and radiation.

I'm 71 and I've never been sick in my life so this is all new to me. So far so good, but I am a little constipated and am starting to get a bit of dry mouth.

They say, at least in my case, the two or three weeks after treatment will be the worst. Really looking forward to that. 😃

Best of luck to you.
