T3 squamous cell carcinoma diagnosis

I have recently (about 3 weeks ago) been diagnosed with T3 squamous cell carcinoma of the right vocal chord.

While it's quite scary I'm in good spirits and my sense of humour hasn't failed me. I probably make other people smile
because I sound like a squeaky mouse. I'm not going to let this cancer get me down as long as that is possible.

Lovely to be here and hopefully I won't annoy anyone with my cheerfulness.

  • It's good to hear that you haven't lost your sense of humour either. I think it's the one thing that will make this in some way bearable (once we've got over telling people that we're not just putting on a brave face :-)) I'm sure you'll be OK and well looked after and there's now no shame in asking for ice-cream for breakfast, dinner and teatime.

    Keep smiling, it's really important.
