I have posted to this blog a few times in the past. I was diagnosed with squamous cell in my throat, close to my left tonsil. I decided to go with the 35 radiation treatment, which ended in early January. It had numerous difficult side effects, but most were mild compared with the aftermath, through which I am still enduring. My sore throat is finally abating. To add to the issues, I also developed thrush which did not respond to the first antibiotic my radiation doctor prescribed, so my encologist decided to try clotrimazole which had immediate results. I will not know for certain if the radiation destroyed the cancer for a couple of more weeks.
