I'm due to have surgery on Thursday (1st Oct) for Parodic cancer. I'm starting to freak out abit and am hoping someone whose had this surgery, can tell what to expect afterwards please? This is the 4th time I've had Cancer, 2 differnt types in the breasts resulting in one mastectomy, then lung, now this one. I have PTSD from an attack and my throat and neck are triggers, this doesnt help me at all. At this point I dont know if I'll need radiotherapy, I hope not as it wiped me out last time. Things are in place for the PTSD so that part is covered. 

  • Hello  and welcome to the community although I noticed your post is slipping through without a reply. This can sometimes happen. I am not from this group so not much help, but by me giving your post a bump it will bring it back in the limelight. Hopefully someone with experience will pick it up and offer some help. I hope all goes well. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.
