New to this community. Head and neck cancer. Was stage 4. I had very aggressive treatment. I'm left with terrible side effects and dangerous thyroid storms. I'm so tired and depressed. I'm very alone.
Hi Traceman and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
As you know, the online community is divided up into different support groups and I can see that you've already found and joined the head and neck cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support from others.
When you feel ready to post there you can start a new post in the same way as you did here, and also join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment 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.

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experiences. And I am pleased you are on top of all of that. Yes, I will need to spend some time creating a similar timeline based profile. I'll have to so my experiences can be understood. Maybe I can get some additional help. I am by no means out of this.
Talk with you again...
Thanks again!
Traceman
