Hi everyone, I've recently been diagnosed, but all treatment is on hold still due to the pandemic, I'm looking at possible laser/radiotherapy, does anyone have any experience with it? The waiting is really starting to get to me now, my moods are up and down and I'm annoying myself with it all, any advice will be helpful.
Hi band welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
A cancer diagnosis can bring a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but I found talking with people who were on the same type of journey helped a lot so can I direct you to our supportive Larynx cancer group.
Posting in this group will give you the opportunity to talk with people who know exactly what you are dealing with at the moment.
Follow the link I've created, join the group, then hit ‘start a discussion’ and you are ready to go.
You could then copy and paste the information from this first post into your new discussion or you can just join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'.
Can I also highlight our various Macmillan Support Line Services on 0808 808 00 00. This service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link but you may find the service very busy at the moment.
Our Online Information and Support Section is a good place to find information covering cancer diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.
All the very best.
