A year ago today I heard those words, you've got cancer!!!. I had a small cell carcinoma on my tonsil bed ( tonsils removed as a child). T2N0M0, I had 47 lymph nodes removed by neck dissection all which where clear. Week later I had TORS surgery but suffered a major bleed and had to have tongue zapped to stop bleeding. I was very lucky and had good margins so no radiotherapy or chemo, just being watched.
I sailed through all this and never really got down etc I considered myself to be very lucky.
A year on and things are still OK, suffer abit of trouble swallowing but my mental health is at an all time low! I work in a school and have had swollen vocal chords so off work at mo. All I seem to do is cry . I'm guessing this is probably normal after going through so much.
Not sure why I wrote this guess I'm just reaching out to anyone else having a tough time.
