My Mum, My World

Mum was diagnosed with cancer of the jaw last year, had major surgery to remove it (which went really well), followed by 6 weeks of radiotherapy as a 'belt and braces' approach.  We have been informed this morning that cancer has returned in her throat.  I am numb, i don't know what to say, what to do, we're all broken.  We are back at the hospital on Monday to get further information and discuss a plan with the consultant.  

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat MMoo although I'm so sorry to hear your mum's cancer has returned.

    Finding out the cancer has returned must have been so difficult, but our community are here for you MMoo and I'm sure it won't be long until some of our members stop by to offer their support and advice.

    We do have some information about throat cancer on our website but if you or your mum like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They will do all they can to answer your questions and support you at this time.

    We're thinking of you MMoo and wishing you and your mum all the best for tomorrow.

    Best wishes to you both,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
