Hello Springers, 

A warm welcome to Cancer Chat though I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis.  How are you feeling about receiving the Gold Service? 7 weeks of radiation and chemotherapy at the same time does sound like an intensive treatment regime. It must be a bit of a shock to the system though for you to have to go through all this when you haven’t had to go to a hospital before but I am sure that you will be looked after very well. There is information on this page on throat cancer which I hope will answer some of the questions you may have. More generally, you can find out more about this in our head and neck cancer section here.

You have joined the right forum to meet others who have had a similar diagnosis in the past. A couple of names inevitably spring to my mind, as for example @RadioactiveRaz ‍  and also @Anchor1707 ‍ who, as you can see on this thread, have written great blogs on the subject. 

I hope that you will get chatting soon here to others who have been in your place before and had the same type of treatment. 

Should you have any questions, our nurses are available on this free number 0808 800 4040 – their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm so don’t hesitate to give them a call at any time. 

Wishing you the best of luck for your treatment. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
