Hi, I'm new here. I was diagnosed with Warthinlike Mucoepidermoid carcinoma in May. Had the tumour,
half the salivary gland and some lymph nodes removed. I've got facial palsy where the nerve was damaged. Can't Close one eye. Can't smile. But I don't have anymore cancer.
Thing is, at the moment, I'm a little lost. Like I don't know where I fit anymore. I feel differently about everything. And it's difficult to explain to people. It's almost like I need to do a factory reset on myself.
I know it's really common to feel very different after an illlness- and not just when it's left you looking very different.
I suppose I'm wondering if anyone else has found themselves almost having to reconfigure who they are?
