Hello all. I won't say it's nice be here, but it's good to know there's somewhere to talk to people in the same boat.

I was diagnosed Feb/March.

  • Hi Jerome

    Just wanted to say that if you have ANY questions regarding your diagnosis, treatment or anything else then please just ask as there's always someone in this wonderful group who will be able to give you an honest answer 

  • Thanks Bob. I'm currently awaiting an appointment to clarify what - if any - treatment I can have. I'll know better then, what to ask.

  • Thinking if you let us know how you get on ! 

  • Hi Jerome. 

    Sounds like i'm in a similar boat to you. I was diagnosed March and am waiting to hear what treatment they can offer. It's a scary time but I've just been trying to keep busy and as normal as possible.  Are you managing to eat foods?

  • Kirsty and Jerome …… wishing you both well. Waiting for results of tests and scans is really hard. When you have a plan in place it can be easier to deal with in many ways ….. at least that been our experience . My husband is week three post surgery.

    I shall be having a short course of radiotherapy and I'm just waiting to hear when.

    At the moment I'm eating OK.. ish, If I have softer food and chew thoroughly and slowly. 

    Hope it all goes OK with you.

    Regards Jerome.

  • That's good they've got a plan in place for you. Hopefully they'll get you a date for radiotherapy and all goes well.
