Just a quick intro. I've just been diagnosed with T2L1M0 P16+ in the left tonsil. I've been given a truck load of info which I'm still digesting. The learning curve is pretty steep. I came here to learn about others' experiences. I took three runs at the mask. Done now (with a little help from lorazepam + some calming techniques). Reading some of the posts here tells me this is a safe place to air some concerns. It's also filling in some gaps in how to prepare for the journey ahead. When I was told I had cancer I felt pretty lonely even though I'm surrounded by a loving family. I can't fault the professional medics who I've interacted with. The missing bit that the medics can't easily offer is the chance to speak to someone who is going or has gone through the same process. I suppose once treatment starts that might change. Anyway, I think this place is invaluable in that regard. Maybe I'll post again once things get started.
