Hi all
just been diagnosed with neck cancer. A mass was growing on my neck and caused a fracture thats how it was discovered. I am also awaiting the results of a biopsy on the tongue. Am so so scared. Haven't started treatment yet need to see oncologist on 31 jan.
Anyone else going through the same thing|?
Hi Julie
There are a lot of us on here that have had H&N cancer and survived for many years post treatment with a good quality of life. Generally it tends to respond well to treatment although the treatment itself is challenging. As time goes on ask any questions you like and I am sure some helpful advice will come back.

Hopefully you will find out at your ENT meeting tomorrow what the plan is. Let us know how you get on.
Do they always do neck dissection for lymph nodes
Do they always do neck dissection for lymph nodes
No
Sometimes they rely solely on RT or CRT
