I have been diagnosed with Lip Cancer after being misdiagnosed back in June. Came up in March been under the hospital since May and only just finding out. I have my first Plastics appointment tomorrow. I do now know it has gone in to the muscle and tissue under and around the bottom lip. 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I'm sorry to read about your recent diagnosis and how you were originally misdiagnosed.

    As the online community is divided up into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join the very friendly head and neck cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support from others with a similar diagnosis.

    To join just click on the link I've created which will take you straight to the group where you can then join and post in the same way as you did here. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. 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.

    This link will take you to a blog which explains how to get the best out of the online community but if you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help
