Found out last week I have Oral Cancer

Hi I’m Anne Marie and last week I was told I have oral cancer. I’m waiting to find out what stage it is 

I got my state pension on Monday and on Tuesday I got diagnosed with cancer !!!!  

  • Hello Anne Marie

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with oral cancer. It's understandable that this may be a difficult time for you and you may have some questions and concerns. 

    Do you know what type of oral cancer you have? If you do then we can try and help with some more information and try to connect you with other members here on the forum who have been through similar diagnoses and treatments. 

    We know that for many people this period of waiting for more information and investigations can be difficult. It can sometimes help to talk things through with someone. If you'd like to talk with one of our nurses you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    Keep in touch Anne Marie. We're here to listen and give any help that we can. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
