New on here.
Just found out recently that I have neck and throat cancer, which has spread to my lungs.
I've had a Rig fitted in my stomach for food etc.
Just finished 5 days radiotherapy and on break till the next 5 days worth.
It's been a mental roller coaster so far, but I just keep plodding lol.

I was told 10 days radiotherapy and chemotherapy for palliative care.
I really hope that this holds things for a while and that you have a long time with your family. Please do ask about immunotherapy. There have been some good results with lung mets.
We have a member here who has been on Pembrolizumab for two years and is stable and I have a contact who has been on Nivolumab for five years.
Best wishes
