Hamilton, ON

I started radiation from my neck to my diaphragm and my throat is really starting to get sore. It’s hard to swallow both food and drink and Advil seems to only help a little bit.. does anyone have any suggestions for making the pain more bearable? I don’t even want to drink water during the day and I feel like now I’m going to be constantly dehydrated

So now I may be ready for some “adult activity”I want to find out how others protect their partners during sex, as well… read more

A MyLymphomaTeam Member

I also take Brukinsa. I was not told of the precautions that you were. Flush with the lid down, wash hands after handling, be careful with bodily fluids and use condoms.
