Hello... My name is maria and i have just been diagnosed with secondary lymph node cancer... This was nearly 3 weeks ago.... I am waiting for a scan to see if they can find the primary.
At the moment i dont know how i feel apart from the doctor who told me about my diagnosis which was over the phone due to covid.. I havent spoken to anyone it feels like iv been to my GP they have told me i have cancer go home and get in with it
It's a tad scary however im not slateing the NHS with all the problems they deal with they do an amazing job.. I think it would be nice if i spoke to someone face to face to explan whats going on with me. I have this horrid sensitive pins and neddles feeling daily just would like to know if there is anything they can do for it.
Think I'm going to have to stop i could go on for ever
Like me, can’t find it. Presume it’s chemo for you too? Start mine later this month. Not sure what that’s going to be like, hopefully not to bad . And the glowing might reduce the gas bill a bit. My lymph node was by the collarbone. Although pet scan showed about 6 glowing. They think the primary comes from upper GI ( gastrointestinal) so treating as that. Hope it’s not to sh*t for you. Try to stay positive. And have another glass of wine lol
