I have been diagnosed with throat/neck cancer. I have been told it's treatable. I'm waiting for an MRI a meeting with my specialist and then hopefully treatment. At the moment I am so scared. I suffer with anxiety anyway and have been on medication for several years. I just want to sleep. I drink to cope which is not great but I don't know how else to cope. I can't sleep (even though that's all I want), I can't eat. I feel sick and scared. I called the local mental health line but the person I spoke to sounded more in need of help than me. I just want to talk to people who may understand how I feel; who've either been through what I'm going through or are having a similar experience. I know I should be thankful to be told the things I've been told but I can't rationalise and always think the worst.
That’s a good book to listen to. Yes radical means to effect cure rather than palliative to relieve symptoms.
Might I suggest you shave your neck and start moisturising. The likelihood is that the whiskers will drop off( but they will grow back probably)
Keep going.

That's a shame I was really getting a good scruffy beard on the go like an old time prospector you'd see in the wild west.

And yet books were my escape. I devoured them. It took me away from the world.
