  • This is a very scary time for both of you. I waited to find out how poorly my daughter was having been diagnosed with cancer. It does take a while to find true diagnosis. But each day try not to worry, it could be any number of things, don’t use your time now to worry, plan something for the weekend and think good positive hopeful thoughts, hard but can be done. Keep us posted how it goes. Sending positive thought and great strength to you.

    welcome to the forum and I, sorry to hear that you are both going through such a worrying time

    testing takes time and is as much to define what it’s not as opposed to what it is

    This can also be a very worrying time as you are dealing with the unknown 

    a lot of us on this site have been there 

    I myself and now 3.5 years post Tomotherapy and chemo for throat cancer ... and like many others on here I’m doing well and talk to many people on here who come to the forum with head nd neck concerns

    Please let us know how you get on and if there is anything you want to know just ask ... we can’t diagnose but we can guide you through the process and listen
