New to this group

Hi ..the oncology team know their stuff, at my first ENT appointment the consultant said that it was head and neck cancer, he was spot on, things moved quickly from there, Chemoradiotherapy was my weapon to fight the cancer, not an easy treatment but highly effective....

The first biopsies taken were inconclusive and a second lot had to be done... but the cancer confirmation was not long in coming.

It's over three years since CRT finished... doing well now... been on a few sunshine breaks, play some sports, life adjusts to our new normal... not bad at all.

Good luck.

Hi and a warm welcome from me.  Have a look at my profile for a similar story.  I am now 6 1/2 years post diagnosis and living a good life.  The treatment is brutal and the recover tough, but after then most of us go on to have a good quality of life.

These cancers respond well to the treatment with a "cure" rate around 90%.

Stay with us and if your husband feels like it then encourage him to join as well.  We are friendly and have a wealth of knowledge and experience to help.  We have patients, survivors and family members on here so there is always someone with a similar perspective to help you along the path.

Hi there, I’ve been you …. I was my husbands carer. Scary times my lovely. Stay with us, I wish I’d found this forum at the beginning of the diagnosis rather than during recovery. We’re a very supportive, friendly bunch. Any questions, worries … feel free to ask/share.

Love and hugs xx
