Welcome to the forum AbijS.

I'm sorry to hear about your mom's diagnosis but I'm glad that she is able to have treatment. I see you mentioned the operation was yesterday. How did it go? I hope it was successful and that your mom is recovering well. I have had a look through our forum and have found another member who has also been in a similar situation to your mom: [@Ruth_c]‍. Now that I've tagged Ruth in this post she'll hopefully be along soon to offer her support and share her experiences with you.

Stay strong Abi and remember that anytime you need to talk we are here for you.

Wishing you and your mom all the best, 

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator.

Hi there

i am two years post treatment for throat cancer and although I had no surgery during my time on here I got talking to some fantastic people who I have since met and we all keep in touch

nicola has been through exactly what you mum has been through ... And you would not know

her thread is as follows 

www.cancerresearchuk.org/.../tongue-cancer-diagnosed-two-days-ago

try it and drop her a line, I'm sure she will be better placed to let you know what is about to happen

all the best
