I just read Mark Steel's book about his cancer experience. He had neck cancer. I thought it was a very good read full of dark humor and I felt, from my own experience of being diagnosed with stage 4 HPV tonsil cancer, now 4 years clear, a very honest and real story.
Much of what he went thorough and experienced was very true to my own situation. The only point where I'd disagree would be where he says he completely avoided looking up his diagnosis etc on the internet. I fully understand his reasoning however, had my partner not done a huge amount of research into my diagnosis and ways forward for example a diagnosis called oligometastatic and a consultant for a second opinion I would definitely not have been here to read Mark's book.
I would highly recommend getting a copy and I think that if you have just been diagnosed with some form of throat / mouth cancer it is a very good and ultimately positive in into what you may have to go through.
