Hello Everyone

Hi Bawbee Welcome to the club we all thought we would ever join. I have/ had hopefully base of tongue cancer and had radio therapy and chemo and get the results next week. You can do and will get through it . All the Best Regards Min 

Hi Bawbee. Welcome to our community. We have all been dragged through the cancer treatment mill and know how you feel. We really do. There are lots of people surviving and thriving afterwards. I had tongue cancer and finished treatment three weeks after my 69th birthday. It’s tough but doable and if I could do it so will you. 
Have a look at the blog linked below and ask s as my questions you want. There is somebody to help with most things. 
I felt terrible guilt for putting my husband through it with me. I had myself cremated before I’d started. My answer to such doubts is ..... turn the tables. How would you feel helping your partner. It puts it all in perspective 

All the best 

Hi Bawbee welcome to the forum that none of us want to join but here we are. Dundee so presume nine well s hospital? I’ve a guy who had base of tongue the same time as me he was  at nine wells excellent hospital. Yes my immediate thought was my hubby and why us.

But hey I’m coming  up to 3 years since diagnosis dsy snd am living my life to  the max. Treatment s hard but if I can do it anyone can   You’ve done the right thing we all help each other on here.

Hi Bawbee and welcome to the forum.  I too had tongue cancer - at the base.

Yes, it can be very overwhelming and the concern for your family is perfectly normal.  As has been mentioned,  we completely understand what you're going through so any questions just ask and there's usually someone who can help.

Wishing you all the best.

Hi Bawbee and welcome to an incredibly supportive group.  No question is too silly to be asked, and soon you will be contributing to other's concerns and pathways from your own experience.

I personally think that those closest to you have the worst time of all.  They care for you but are really not in control of your treatment and return to a normality of life - you're making the decisions.  Thus your concern for them is right and proper.  I think we all get emotional at times and that is just part of human nature, but I bet you will find your family strong in supporting you through treatment and recovery.

I too was very emotional especially about family, I think it's only natural.  Stick with the forum no question is too silly to ask  and there is a wealth of experience on here x
