That's wonderful news Helen, did you have to take cover elsewhere, or just be careful where you went, now you're fully covered, what are your plans my friend, we, my girls and I are arranging a trip to Greece, as I'm banned from flying, we will take the train to Milan, stopover, then the train to Bari for the overnight ferry to Greece.

love Eddie xx 

Hi Never1, and a warm welcome to the forum, though I'm so sorry you find yourself here, and for your diagnosis my friend, I  hope you find our little thread both friendly and supportive, please feel free to ask any questions about anything.

Eddie 

Thanks for the welcome, Eddie. I'm returning to the Macmillan support site after ten years. Last time it was uterine cancer and I survived it with much support on here. I'm just trying to get over the shock at the moment. 

Your very welcome my friend, and I'm so sorry this awful disease has come Your way again, and I hope you find the lovely people on here, and the thread a comforting place to be, its been quiet on the forum today, but I'm happy to chat, especially as my partner has just gone to Australia for 4 months lol .

Hi Never1,Im here already ,just discovered my kindles not charged, on here early.

welcome to you , I new here to ,and newly diagnosed, everyone seems very friendly and seem to know each other, maybe that comes with night chats

Hi briars, welcome aboard my friend, I've been reading about your dilemma whether or not to have radiotherapy to whatever may remain of your SCC after  surgery, not my cancer my friend,  but I know a little about radiotherapy having had 20 fractions of EBRT, which I believe will  likely be your treatment, though I know brachytherapy is also a possibility, both are very effective and precisely focused treatments carried out by highly skilled radiographers, who are friendliest people you could wish to meet in hospital. 

Eddie  

Thanks Eddie, it is exactly that a delemma , I am trying to get my head round it all.

dose radiotherapy leave your more marks on the face , I’m very happy with the skin graft, his mum must have taught him well

Hi briars maybe you should ask your team what radiotherapy regime their considering, whether it is EBRT and how many fractions, it could be 6 or up to 30 or if brachytherapy seed is an option

I didn't take extra cover as it was only the cancer that was excluded and being in France in our own transport we knew we could be home quickly if needed. 

We're having a few days away in the Midlands next week then off to France & Belgium in December to visit some Christmas Markets. 

When are you going to Greece? It sounds like a lovely way to get there.
