Hiya,
I'm not too sure what to say. Hope you're ok. I'm 35 and a mum to 2 amazing girls. I was diagnosed with parotid gland tumor in January. I've recently had an operation to remove it and confirm the ty
. I have been diagnosed with an acinic cancer that was incase in a calcium ball which also tested positive. Some cells have been left behind in the calcium as they couldn't remove it all that was stk to my bone. The surgery should have been a simple get it out and I'll be OK but it wasn't as now, they don't want to start radiotherapy until it has grown some more as they only have 1 shot (they id) of it working and want to keep it for a later date. So it was a bit of shock to get that news last week. I lost an awful lot of weight with not being able to swollow any food or liquids. Just a t at a loss at the moment coming to term with it all. Thank you
Hi Jaimiee 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 that you have recently been diagnosed with a parotid gland tumour and that what should have been a simple operation to remove it didn't turn out to be.
The online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the head and neck cancer group, where you can connect with others who have the same type of cancer and can answer questions, share experiences and give support.
To join this group, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here, and join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment to date 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.
