Hi Priceless 

I can't recall anybody here with a cancer like yours. I had a look in the eye cancer forum but that drew a blank too. Nevertheless, welcome. Do join in with the rest of us. There is always somebody here to talk to

Thank you ...l am ok but do have good days and bad days.

Hi Priceless.  Glad you've joined our community and welcome from me too.

I also frequent Awake and Up All Night, which you can find in the cancer chat forum.  Plenty of folk there to chat to on any subject you like and some tend to stay up till all hours, me included.  If you enjoy reading, there's a thread here especially to discuss or recommend books you've read.

I think we all have the same, that’s what having this outlet to talk to folks - everyone knows to some degree what you are going through as they experienced something similar / but we come out the other end.

Very true.

We got this

Hello Priceless 

im also a tongue and lymph node bod.  Bit different from yours - but quite honestly, when it comes down to how we feel about things I don’t think the precise variety of the cancer makes a huge amount of difference.  I’m 19 months out of treatment. Can’t say I have really bad days . I encounter the odd hiccup and have found the guys on this forum have always had helpful advice to get round it….or to tell me it’s quite normal and not to worry about it.  Happy to help if I can.

Hi Priceless. Welcome. I have found this forum so encouraging and helpful. It is so great to chat to people who understand the issues and emotions that go with a cancer diagnosis and the resulting adjustments that have to be made after treatment finishes. Everyone has slightly different experiences but there are so many similarities. I had jaw cancer and have been on this forum since 2019. Time has helped a lot and I have adjusted mostly to my new normal but there are still days when making contact with someone who 'gets it' is really helpful I have found.

Tonsil cancer, 2 years since Chemotherapy Radiotherapy finished, still have flashbacks, like most I have learned to deal with them, this forum is brilliant for discussion and support, always someone around to chat with.
