Hi everyone.
Never thought I would need to join a group like this and I'm struggling to be honest. My husband went to the Dr's last Monday, was referred for an urgent cancer appointment and was seen by the ENT on Friday. They found a tumour on the back of his tongue and his lymph node in his neck on the same side is very swollen, so he thinks it's spread. He's got an x-ray on his jaw tomorrow a CT Scan and MRI on Friday and a pre-op appointment on Monday. It's all happening so fast and we have so many questions but no answers. I'm trying to stay calm and be strong for my husband who is understandably terrified. I don't really know what I expect from anyone but just some words of advice and wisdom would be so gratefully received! Thank you
Hi Rachel Bambi You've come to the right place for help. I'm Dani a five year survivor of the same cancer. I Hang out in the Head and Neck Cancer forum so join us there and put the same post up.Simply click on the link in bold I have made. I can give you a much fuller picture if you come along and say Hi there.
Can I add in the meantime that lymph node enlargement from a throat tumour is the classic presentation of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) driven cancer and is curable. 90% of us not only survive but thrive.
Dana24 Please come along too. We are a friendly bunch and there is usually somebody around most of the time to give you a hand.
