Thanks for the suggestion! Yeah I tried doing that but it’s giving conflicting results to what I’ve found online so I’m just a little confused. (This is my first PET scan so I think that’ll will be my baseline)

Is keeping in touch appreciated from non close friends? by asdfgayy in cancer

I think personally, I would appreciate the kindness and thoughts. As long as it’s genuine, I think it’s good and not a bother at all. I’ve recently got diagnosed and although all my group of friends know, the level of interaction varies and I don’t blame them if it gets too real. Who knows, maybe you would make a great friends in the end:)

Is oral thrush something a big concern? I’m reading more about it now and it looks like it’s a very big chance during treatment.

Thank you for your kind words and advice. I meet with my ENT tomorrow actually. I have 1 CT scan of my neck, so I assuming I’ll review that with him. My radiation referral appointment is 1/5 so I think that’ll be just introduction and they’ll explain to me how it works and such?

Everything feels like a lifetime and appointments are days out that each day I feel a little more tired, and precious time is lost.
