Head and neck cancer patient

Hi Clace. Sorry you’ve had such an ordeal but welcome to our community

Tell us a little about yourself if you feel you can. It lets the right people respond to your post. Best wishes. 

I had skin Cancer on the face, which resulted in me needing surgery, this resulted in losing an eye and bone from my face . I now have to wear an eye patch. I don't know anyone who has or had the same cancer as me

Hi Clace Welcome to the club we all thought we would never join. I did meet a fellow patient who had to have similar but for a different type of cancer. Regarding the eating I think things improve over time and you adapt more as you get use to the changes. Do you still have taste ? as mine is still  abit shot to be honest but I am hopeful. Stick with it as sounds like you are dealing with a few issues at once , Take it easy and deal with one day at a time. All the Best Regards Minmax 

Hi hope you are well. I have my taste back, lost it when having radiotherapy. But I have lost hearing and the ability to smell

I can't spell it but it known as scc. Sorry 

Squamous cell carcinoma. It’s the most common oropharyngeal tumour. It’s what most of us have had to deal with 

we have had a post from a young man who list an eye to this. I’m trying to find it 

I can never find a cancer support group, for my type of cancer. It was always for breast cancer and prostate

Here’s the post
