Hey all
Five or so years ago, i was diagnosed with tonsil cancer that had already spread to lymph nodes. I was extremely low when i posted for advice on here and was considering refusing treatment as everything seemed so grim.
The support i got on here was one of the reasons i took treatment, and five years later i have been discharged by my consultant due to 'no sign of recurrent disease'
I have also recently returned from my first foreign holiday in 5 years (norway cruise) and have another cruise booked for may- i have joined the gym to work off the fat i built up on my hols.
Life is pretty good, and i just wanted to update and thank those who offered support back then. It really helps talking to people who have been through this.
I should spend more time offering advice to others on here, truth is i rarely think about cancer nowadays.
Thanks
Trev
Hey Trev, how wonderful to hear you are so well
i rarely think about cancer nowadays.
Which is brilliant.

No you shouldn’t. You’ve shaken off your trauma the best way you know. There are lots of others here to chip in with help. I sometimes feel that those of us not at the sharp end of this can offer limited help anyway.
The best is posting such an encouraging update. Hugs.

Oh Sue that is so kind. I try my best. I remember how it all seemed so strange and at times hopeless at the beginning.
A soothing word, empathy and a little clarification go a long way. We are all champions here. There is so much kindness and understanding on these pages.
