I recently had a lesion removed from my bottom lip. The pathology has diagnosed as a SCC skin cancer. I'm waiting for MDT. My mouth has been so uncomfortable with dry mouth. I am beside myself with worry and struggling to carry on with everything.
I'm sorry to hear the lesion that was removed from your lip was diagnosed as a SCC skin cancer and that you're now waiting for the MDT to find out what happens next.
This must be an incredibly anxious and stressful time but I hope it helps to know that our members are here for you JPP, and hopefully those who have been in a similar position will stop by soon to offer their support and advice.
I hope these tips we have on how to cope with waiting for news and the advice the NHS have on managing anxiety will help to steady your nerves as well, but if it would help to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their helpline is open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to answer your questions and ease your mind until you know more.
We're sending you all our support and hope you don't have to wait too much longer for some news.
