Hi and a warm welcome to the Online Community, a Community that no one really looks to see themselves joining, and so sorry to hear about your throat cancer investigations.
Dint panic about the time scales, although hospitals are dealing with COVID there is still space in the system.
A cancer diagnosis brings confusion, stress and many questions but I found talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helped a lot.
The Community is organised into support groups so you may want to start by joining our supportive Head and neck cancer group as this is the place where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as patient or family.
