Painful & Throat Feels Tiny *Radiotherapy Cancer Journey 2026*

You didn't ask for advice but sometimes it takes someone else to notice something happening to hopefully help. You seem to be taking very small short quick breaths (at the beginning of the video) I know it's not easy but try to be very intentional with your breathing, big deep inhale, steady exhale. I worry that you might get a chest infection or lung infect because you aren't breathing properly and cleaning out your lungs. Have you got a balloon you can blow up? Just 5 mins a few times a day would really help make your lungs stronger. I know it's yet another thing to add to your do do list (I'm not joking by saying that I know everything you have to do can feel overwhelming) but if you did that consistently for a week or 2 I know you really would feel the benefits! Sending lost of love x

Boost or protein drinks are your best friends during this stage..you can have 3 a day and still get all your daily nutrients (speaking as a nurse) 😊

My husband went through the same treatment. He could only drink water, and eat liquid foods like yogurt, soups, jello, and even then he had a tough time swallowing. He did loose weight. His throat got very sore like having the worse sore throat. He still finished like 27 treatments. He had the same feeling like you are, and he just continued. Gargle with warm salt water. It isn't going to be easy. My husband had to take pain pills to even swallow water. You are just getting side effects. The reward will be worth it. It stopped my husbands cancer he had in his tongue, tonsils, and throat. After my husband was finished with his treatments, and plus he did Chemo at the same time which was double tough. You at least didn't do it all at the same time. The treatments will continue working like a month after the treatments stop. It will get better for you once it is over. Hang in there. God is with you always. Prayers...

You look so adorable without headband❤

Bone broth might be nice as well..........wishing you the best Tiffany!

Ice cream Tiff, ice cream !

You look adorable without the headband. I am so sorry you are having such a hard time. I am praying it will resolve soon. Stay positive and strong as you always do. You are quite an amazing youg woman! Sending big hugs your way❤❤❤

You’re so beautiful without the headband💙 You’re a natural beauty!

Orange is acidic and ginger can burn an already inflamed throat, so it's probably best to stick to water or milk for now Tiffany until your throat has healed.

Stay away from those acidic juices. They will really burn your sore throat.

Ensure shakes will help you get your calories, Tiff.

I had a similar problem during radiation treatments, and they just gave me a small dose of oral steroids to cut the inflammation from the radiation, and it resolved the problem within a couple days.

My partner had radiotherapy on his neck. It suddenly go really bad, so I’m sure this is the same for you. He said even drinking water hurt. He had fortisip to keep him nourished. Unfortunately it builds up, even after the treatment finishes but it WILL subside. You must keep your skin moisturized as well. Take pain killers and rest lots. You are amazing Tiffany. He had his treatment in 2014, so hold on to that thought. He’s fine now and cancer free. X

Your hair looks so cute Tiffany❤❤ I’m sorry you’re having difficulty eating😢 I hope it heals quickly after you’re done with radiotherapy🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I love the way your hair is growing in! You look chic and classy and so beautiful. I'm terribly sorry to hear about the side effects and am praying for your comfort and strength. ❤

Receiving radiotherapy on your throat can cause very severe sore throats, making it very hard to get the nutrition that you need. I found when drinking organic pear juice It did not hurt at all to swallow. I drink it as much as possible It helps with my hydration too. I've had a couple people have the same results. You're always in my thoughts and prayers.

Tiffany, you look beautiful with your growing hair, it's like a cute little pixie cut. You don't need the headband. I pray for you every night. You Got This!!

Tiff. I really don’t think you need to worry about wearing that headband anymore! Your hair looks awesome! 😊 please Lord Let Tiffany feel better very soon. 🙏🙏🙏

Radiation actually burns so your throat is actually burnt. Sucking ice actually helps

Honestly ,apart from the side affects you are looking so good like healthy vibrant ,keep on fighting
