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.

Hello Casboy and welcome from me too. How many weeks radiotherapy are you getting and have you been offered immunotherapy?

Hi Casboy
Welcome, its not an easy ride but trust your team & stay strong. There is so many inspirational people you will speak to in the waiting rooms & on here that have walked in your shoes & we are here to say you can get through this. Any questions you feel embarrassed to ask there will always be someone here to help you through.
Good luck
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
