Found a lump on my neck several months ago, childishly ignored it, finally got in front of the GP 4 weeks ago. Sent for an ultrsound, red flaggged to an ENT consultant, two weeks later I have a diagnosis and it looks like chemo and radiotherapy in January. I'm lucky that this one apparently reacts well to this treatment, so surgery shouldn't be necessary. Thankful to the most understanding and confidence inspiring consultant, scared to death, but trying hard to stay positive. Any guidance on how to deal with the upcoming treatment welcomed.
Even on Christmas Day you're on point Hazel, I start typing something and your reply immediately pops up, ha.
Hi Scottmark, what Hazel said; you'll do this. Stick around, great people on here.
Metastatic SCC diagnosed 8th October 2013. Modified radical neck dissection November, thirty-five radiotherapy fractions with 2xCisplatin chemo Jan/Feb 2014. Recurrence on larynx diagnosed July 2020 so salvage laryngectomy in September 2020.
Enjoy Hazel; I just about have all my prep done, oven firing up in about ten minures so it's ready for 5.00-ish (if all goes to plan).
