hi i would like to know if any one has had advanced head and neck cancer that has spead to the arms and legs is there any surivivors here would help ??
I too am a survivor of this cancer, 15 months now. I had a radical neck dissection removal of lymphs and salivary glands, with follow up radiotherapy. I have one nodule on my lung which has not grown in 6 months and one lump in my shoulder which is to be removed in 2 weeks time. I have quite good health and am enjoying life to the full while this status quo lasts. Im sorry to hear that the cancer you have has spread to your limbs I cant give you any input on your particular situation but you could phone the nurses here for a chat. Many on this forum will share some of the problems you face, so post your concerns and Im sure you will get some feedback. All the best Kim
hi there is nice to see your ok after 15 months im so happy for you. the lumps on my legs are very small and arms they are not all over just in some places not even biger then 5p would the cemo shrink them i dont know what to do. can i ask what type of cemo was you on and how long was you on it for
I was told that chemotherapy would not help for the particular type of cancer that I have, so I just had radiotherapy. I just have one single lump now and the hospital thinks it can be removed with just surgery and perhaps another session of radiotherapy. I guess you just have to go with what the hospital doctor recommends for your situation. Like I say you could phone the nurses here for free 0808 800 4040 they could be very helpful for you. Kim
