The side effects from the treatment made me feel worse than I have ever felt in the last 70 years. Without the support of the radiotherapists, dieticians, speech therapist, physiotherapist and dietician it would have been unbearable.

Suggested improvements
My particular radiotherapy bathed an area of my head and damaged the performance of my salivary glands and taste buds. My mouth filled with ulcers and blisters and eating and speech became difficult. The support I was given made it bearable but I feel that there must be a technology that could avoid these problems. As the world's leader in cancer research and treatment I would hope that the Royal Marsden would be involved in developing a tool that could be used without such severe side effects.
