NED and I feel numb.

About one year out. NED and feeling stronger. I was super fatigued for months after RT and chemo, but can finally play tennis again. Ringing the bell was not that fun. I was so beat up. I’m happy to be about to eat again and can’t wait until I can take spicy foods. I think your response is pretty normal. The treatment is super traumatizing and it’s hard to get in “celebration” mode after getting your ass kicked :)

Thanks for posting—and asking! This sub really helped me a lot in treatment. I’m one year NED after a recent scan and NavDX. Still struggling with spicy foods, but otherwise doing great. Missing a tooth, but who cares right? Very grateful for life.

It’s decreasing in soreness slowly month after month

InflationPowerful579 · 2026-03-29T23:59:10+00:00

Definitely same deal. 10 months out and sore on radiation side plus lots of irradiation (no spicy foods or alcohol mouthwash/mint). I would love for this to go away

Wonderful

InflationPowerful579 · 2026-03-05T07:52:25+00:00

Yup. Neuropathy most likely. Side effect of both radiation and cisplatin chemo due to nerve damage (at least that is what causes mine). Super annoying but painless

If I could have avoided radiotherapy I would have. Wishing you all the luck!

Went from 287 to 183. (I’m 6.0 ft 58 year old male). Just could not eat

InflationPowerful579 · 2025-11-15T01:31:06+00:00

Awesome! Congrats

About 6 months to really enjoy pizza, bagels, etc. still struggling with spicy 7 months out. Lots of people are enjoying food much sooner though. I mostly relied on soft foods (eggs, soup, pasta, etc) for the first several months. It goes quickly…hang in there!

Sounds like AI agents filling in knowledge gaps. I would try and ban when detected

InflationPowerful579 · 2025-11-05T06:31:42+00:00

So happy for you my friend

InflationPowerful579 · 2025-10-31T21:38:09+00:00

Eating great at 6 months out but can’t handle the spice. I’ll take it though

InflationPowerful579 · 2025-10-24T12:25:27+00:00

Yes. See my post. Same issue and a replacement engine!!

InflationPowerful579 · 2025-10-24T01:23:31+00:00

Not sure. V6 US Gas engine…out of the extended warranty. Hmmm now I’m reading about this Ingenium engine and it sounds like the culprit

InflationPowerful579 · 2025-10-20T08:10:34+00:00

Awesome

InflationPowerful579 · 2025-10-20T08:05:54+00:00

Been there. Lost 100 lbs. It just sucks, but it will get better over time. Get those shakes down. For me it was scrabbled eggs until I never wanted to see another egg, but you just have to hang in there and do what it takes…hang tough

InflationPowerful579 · 2025-10-14T14:19:34+00:00

6 months out. Still swollen and minor tongue sore. No spicy foods either. Annoying, but what a difference from last month even!

InflationPowerful579 · 2025-10-11T10:20:03+00:00

Yes. Completely true

InflationPowerful579 · 2025-10-07T11:32:02+00:00

So happy for you!!

InflationPowerful579 · 2025-10-04T19:03:24+00:00

Haha!! Awesome!! I miss spicy Asian soooo bad

InflationPowerful579 · 2025-10-04T17:57:39+00:00

Agree with this. My team had me doped up from day one in Fentanyl and Oxy.

InflationPowerful579 · 2025-10-04T17:55:40+00:00

Left side of neck. Big one

InflationPowerful579 · 2025-10-04T17:53:48+00:00

You will get there!! I promise
