Hi my husband has just been diagnosed with throat cancer.
Still stunned really and have our first appointment on Wed at mount vernon.
So much info to take in all at once
Just wanted to say hi
Hi Blossam. Sorry to see you here but you’re in the right place for help and advice
Hope the appointment goes smoothly
Take a notebook or record everything on your phone.
Have your list of questions handy because you’ll not hear stuff or forget to ask.
Make sure you understand everything and get your assigned clinical nurses contact details.
Throat cancer is eminently curable so hold onto that

Hi Blossam. Just wanted to say welcome to the club none of us wanted to join. Your head will be in a whirl, don’t leave the consultant until you’re clear in your head with everything you’ve been told. Often your husbands assigned cancer nurse will be in attendance ,they are a useful source of information remember ti get their phone number and email.
As Dani say throat cancer is eminently curable ,please refrain from Dr Google you’ll scare yourself silly ,you’ve found us between us we usually can help.
Ask any questions here.
