Hi there
I had a partial parotidectomy in July
Went for my follow-up today and was given the news I have a intraductal carcinoma of the left parotid, apocrine variant. I was not prepared for this.
I feel confused, anxious and alone.
I have to have radiotherapy in a few weeks.
Its just been an overwhelming day.
Please tell me its gets easier to deal with
Sending you all hugs x
