Hi Hazel

So agree am going to do that

Many Thanks

Chris

Think we all felt like you do at this point as you always think the worst, luckily with mine it during lockdown so everything happened so quickly that at times I was on a roller coaster of appointments tests and then final option, I thin the final 2 weeks prior to the op was the worst but once it happened I seemed relieved.

This time round with my latest diagnosis of Oesopheageal cancer I was like you as it was such a shock and the amount of investigations etc seems to go on and on but at least I have now started in a way with having my first chemo and my second next week, but as you are very apprehensive about the RT when that starts even though they say it is going to be very low dose

Keep in there and as evryone has said once you get the treatment plan hopefully everything will become clearer

Hello All

Been to the hospital today for an ultrasound and they found a lump on my neck and did a biopsy.

Am having some really bad thoughts know i shouldnt but the anxiety is getting a bit worse

Hope everyone ok 

Many Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris

Try not to let the lump on your neck worry you too much at this point.  A lump in the neck is often the first symptom that people find with head and neck cancer.  The lymph nodes in that area pick up infection and try to deal with it, hence the swelling.  Your team have obviously found it and will be taking it into account when planning the appropriate treatment for you.

Hi Chris The lump in the neck was the thing that alerted me , we have a lot if lymph nodes  in our neck.Yiur team will factor everything into your treatment plant. By the time my treatment started I had 7 effected lymph nodes.

Linda is right. They will either remove the node or target radiotherapy at it if there is cancer there. The clinicians are good at what they do 

Hi All

Thank you for getting back to me so quick means so much at this time

Am going to try and not to worry and see what happens when i get to the meeting 

Many Thanks
