Hi
I was diagnosed with cancer on Wednesday, had a CT scan today, I've got an MRI scan on Tuesday and a biopsy under GA on Wednesday for a cancer they have found in my throat.
I'm devastated and keep thinking the worst but I keep getting waves of sadess that make me bawl. I want to be strong for my family but just cannot stop being upset. Apologies as I think there will be people with worse situations then me but I don't know where to turn or how to control myself.
Yes we must stay strong. You really are having a tough time of it. Thank god your CT scan came back clear. That's a positive. We will take each day as it comes and prepare our bodies and mind for what lies ahead. Xx
It's so hard sometimes to stay positive, but that's OK too. There will be good and bad days but look what they can do we've come along way in finding cures. I used to feel the sadness for people fighting cancer, but never really understood, until it happens to you. We will get through this together. Xx
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
