You are awesome! My prayers for you! Thank you for your tips. Extremely helpful! ❤

I’m finished with treatment for tonsil cancer. A major mouth cleanser for me was hot salt water with baking soda. Never had any mouth issues. I have a mouth full of metal. I am so thankful for my change of diet and precautions. My dr told me he has never had anyone take it so well. I wasn’t normal by any means but I am on the right side of the road now. Waiting for my pet scan now. God bless anyone with any cancer

Hi Jason came across this video, I was wondering how your doing now? Did it ever come back? 😊

I hate that wrap. It always gets stuck on itself.

thank you for sharing this. My father had throat cancer, and it is one of my biggest fears. How are you now? I see it ha been nine years

Just wanted to stop by and thank you for posting these videos. I’m about to start neck cancer radiation/chemo therapy. Because of your video, I became aware of the potential interaction with dental crowns. I raised the issue with my Radiation Physician who agree that it would be beneficial to remove a metal crown that is in the area to be irradiated. Just swapped the metal crown for a non-metalic crown yesterday. Thanks again for your efforts to help others! All the best to you and yours!

Hey can you please explain how you knew you had cancer , what symptoms were u feeling

I’m in so much throat pain! I tested a false positive to Mono, and my PCP is not a M.D., and she blamed all my symptoms on MONO. Finally she agreed to give me a CT scan which is on May 17. I’m getting sicker, I’ve had severe burning and mild to moderate hoarseness. I got sick on February 16, 2023, and my throat in the back has bumps and whitish spots. Even if I really did have me mono, a sore throat would not last nonstop for 8 weeks

Reading all the comments you can see how much your video has helped people I am early 40s and I have one tonsil that is slightly larger than the other and I've noticed a swollen gland on the same side that feels like it has a hard BB/small pea stuck to it I have a appointment with the doctor in about 5 days and I am going to request a appt with a ENT regardless of what he thinks it might be. your video helped calm my nerves and I appreciate it and you sir thank you.

For anyone showing up here because they have a loved one going through this cancer I'd like to give a few words of THANKS as someone who just finished treatment (35 radiations, 7 chemos) 2 months ago with the help of a devoted loved one. The daily support of a primary loved one is so important when we are going through this experience. It is like swimming through oil just to move from one place to another. The energy is sapped. The thrill of eating is gone. Normal hygiene takes so much more effort than ever before. The will to live is shaky due to pain, nausea, and fatigue. I am so grateful to have had a wonderful support person (my significant other) who didn't push me to do anything, but just kept me moving in the forward direction throughout the therapy phase. Thank you to all the loved one who are making the progress tolerable.

I'm nearly 30 and I've got my first ever case of strep, my tonsils are swollen to the point I can't eat or drink, talking is not an option, and breathing hurts. The doctor prescribed this for me but didn't explain how to use it. I know my case of strep is nothing like your cancer, but thank you so much for this. This is extremely helpful. I hope you are doing alright and I wish nothing but the best for you. Thank you

Hi, I'm going in soon for the same, pain management is my biggest concern, how did you cope with that please?

The small little things you just mentioned are to help prevent bigger issues. So thank you for sharing. My mother's 2nd wk in with her radiation treatment for stage 1 throat cancer. Biopsy in a week due to a large nodule on left mid of thyroid. So much my mother is dealing with. Really appreciate your advice. 🙏

Thank you

thanks for this...about to go through this soon.

Thank you 💕 hope you are well XXX🙏

What mistakes you think you have made .ignoring

I just started watching your videos. Great advice! My husband recently finished radiation and chemo treatments for squamous cell neck cancer 6 weeks ago. Your video was so spot on! If you are friends with someone that is going through a difficult cancer treatment, don’t wait to be asked for help. Just do it! Step up and help with chores, mow their lawn, run to the grocery store for them, buy them a gas card if they have extensive driving to get to their treatment center! It would have really put a smile on our faces after a long day at radiation and the chemo center, to come home to a lawn that was mowed! I can’t even count the number of times friends and family have said, ”if there is anything I can do to help you and your husband please let me know”. I know everyone meant well, but families going through treatment don’t have the fortitude to even ask for help. The throat cancer patient is going through a horrific treatment- the most painful, scary, difficult time of their lives. Caretakers are floundering, struggling, and stressed to the max! It’s stressful to have to ask for help! Very few friends and relatives don't comprehend the horrific and painful treatment involved with a head and neck cancer diagnosis and the long, difficult recovery process! No one realizes that the two weeks post-treatment are the absolute worst! Everyone assumed that once finished with treatment, all is well. Not! Trying to explain all this again and again to family has been difficult! Our treatment center was a 250 mile round trip. Staying closer to the treatment center was not an option for us. We both hold down F/T jobs, and live on a small farmette with a couple of horses. Our 7 week treatment routine consisted of getting up at 3 am each morning to make the 250 mile round trip to the treatment center, getting home around noon. For the first 3 weeks of treatment, my husband would go into work and work a late shift. I did the same, except I continued to work after I brought him home throughout his entire treatment except for the last week. I would get home around 10pm many nights, catch a few hours sleep, and turn around and do it all the next day. 350 miles of driving /day with a full work day takes its toll, leaving no time for sleep and no time for much needed chores! It would have meant so much to us if anyone stepped up and helped- mow the lawn, weed the garden, bring hay and feed out to the barn, take the trash to the dumps! You are absolutely correct that cancer is financially devastating even if you have good insurance! We have excellent insurance. I can’t imagine what we would have done if we didn’t. Unfortunately, all the extra expenses that go along with a cancer diagnosis are astronomical! It wiped out a good chunk of our savings. Gas expenses (gas at an all-time high now!) for 12,000 miles of driving for the treatments, doctor appointments, drives for lab work, imaging tests, Tolls, Parking fees, co-pays, and all the extra necessities needed for cancer care that are not covered by insurance really add up! A gas card, or even some some help with parking fees and tolls would have been so very much appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to do this video! Everyone that knows someone going through cancer treatment needs to watch this!

I have been through the same thing. I had a port and a feeding tube mine came on me at 56 the things I wished they would have told me that the radiation would kill my thyroid, taste buds,loss of smell ,it got my pituitary gland and my thalassemia. Good luck I'm 6yrs cancer free I went through it by myself could of used some help but my blood family turned their backs on me and one sister is a nurse practitioner and the other sister an RN but they were to busy getting pedicures and abusing their patients!!

Hey man....Blessings to u.....🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for sharing. And my hopes are that you stay cancer free for the rest of your life.

Hi Jason. I am a head & neck cancer patient. Tongue cancer. Had 9 weeks of chemo & 45 radiations. Had a peg stomach tube put in instead of an arm picc line. Had 6 months of liquid nourishment. Also a special formulation of antibiotics from the pharmacy for the mouth sores cost was $51 a bottle. Also given dexamthasone, montekulast, ondansetron, fluticasone. Chemo made me pretty sick on the weekends. I lost 50 lbs. I had one tooth on the bottom right which is an old metal filling & that gum is still sore 2 years later. I got used to the stomach feeding tube but the surgery to have it put in was brutal. I also had surgery to cut out my tongue lesion. The second one 2019. The first one 2000. I have a CT scan scheduled for this week for the lymph node chain in my right neck which is swollen. I hope you improve. You sound good. But cancer always comes back at some point even 20 years later. The radiation burned my neck. The cancer care center gave me special cream that I had to buy from Portugal at $50 a tube.

Hey Jason, Hope you're doing well bro. I was curious, what was it like to have throat cancer and how did you find out about it? Thanks for sharing with us and take care

Great advice, THANK YOU Jason !!!

are you okay today?

Been thru this twice,5 years apart. You make not sound like it's not a big deal. There's not enough room on here to tell you what it is really like. No feeding tube? Thank goodness Stage lV is highly curable.

Please note , you may not get a PIC line .. they may just do 1 time a week IV.......

I just recently diagnosed with spindle cell of the lyrnex. After watching all of these videos I realize that life sux and is not even worth putting myself thru this stuff. I'll go in for a laser treatment and if it doesn't work then I'll be saying goodbye to this lousy world

Hi Jason, just about to start my journey with throat cancer treatment. Now you have me concerned about your comment on fillings, I have five dental implants so obviously nothing can be done about them.

That's why they have feeding tubes like I have

Thank you so much for taking time to do this video. The points that u mentioned will definitely help people. I ll shared this with my contacts. I see that this video was uploaded 6 yrs ago & the latest videos are of 2 yrs back. Plz tell us that u are all fine now & fully recovered. Again thank u & may God bless you. 👍

Hi all! I finished my radiation treatments! I am now cancer free and 6 months after radiation. I still have throat pain and trouble talking. I am finally getting 90% of my taste back. A lot of things still bother me to eat like liquor lol! But I have learned that any type of diary mixed with liquor isn't bad! lol I love this guy for making these videos! Watch all of them he is right! To anyone out there fighting cancer, I love and pray for you multiple times a day! Love Jesus and he will heal you if it is his will! I love you all and stay strong!

God bless you💙

Thanks for the advice. About to start all of this.

Thank you for sharing.. I wish you all the best brother

Great video. Cool, calm and precise delivery of info. Very reassuring tone as well, this is going to help a lot of people, this is what the internet is for. I found this after my event and I just had radio, so I was very lucky, and I had good people in the NHS sort me out. Appreciate it anyway.
