Hi everyone, hope everyone is doing ok! got my surgery dates confirmed,  Ive got Squamous cell carcinoma stage t4 no mo

Im going into Hallamshire Hospitin in sheffield on Tues 24th and having neck dissection the next day followed by skull base surgery on  thursday 26th..! Not looking forward to it but wish it was sooner..! (im sure you all understand) i was told 16-17hrs in total thats the reason why they are doing it in two opps, i was going to go in on the monday with 1st opp tues rest on wednesday then opp thurs but no theatre available on the tuesday so wed/thurs it is!!! followed with 1wk icu 2wk on ward then home as long as theres no problems and radiotherapy approx 6wk later (to be confirmed when and how long for) Go to see consultant nxt monday to finalise everything and sign consent forms !!!

Feeling ok at the min but im sure nerves will kick in as it gets closer but i will keep my chin up n stay possitive
