just been diagnosed today with a cancerous tumour in my throat/neck, treatment to be discussed monday hopefully, came home from work with a lump in my neck and throat and decedied to go to the doctors, was lucky and got a quick referral.
came to hospital last sunday after throwing up a LOT of blood and by that night i had a traceotemy and biopsy, been in hospital since then unable to speak, eat or drink.
Got the news just after one today its definatly cancer.
not quite sure how to feel at the moment, my sister was diagnosed at my age and died two years later, loads of people saying "dont worry it will be fine" mixtures of anger and sadness at he moment.
Hi lee055 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
It sounds like your life has been a whirlwind just recently and it's no wonder that you're feeling as you do.
As the online community is divided up into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join and post in the head and neck cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.

You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
