Hi all, 

it’s stupid o clock at night. I can’t sleep. I was finally staged today, at the moment Im T4. N1. M0. Base of tongue SSC HPV positive, but the N might change due to a query on the Pet scan…

I felt so positive because the M was 0 and it’s supposedly a cancer with a good prognosis. Why did I Google it??? 

Does anybody else with a T4 grade have a positive story to share? Im in despair. Bloody well the dentist tomorrow for teeth out assessment. Ultrasound biopsy on Thursday. Chemo and radiotherapy looming. It all feels like Im in the most terrible nightmare. 

Sorry if this is the wrong department to post in or just too dismal. Im just looking to get my hope back.
