Hi am a 52 year old female. With cancer in the throat.   Waiting on some  radio and chemo therapy. My terrifed haven't slept for. Weeks. My heads like a dark cloud and can't think     My brain is numb   Every day I try to be normal for my little family  pretending am Oky and feeling positive and sting. But in fact am falling apart in side   Is the normal or what

  • Hi Eve,I too was diagnosed this past week,its been 6 days of shock,being brave in front of my teenage daughter and friends,it's a weird feeling but it is normal to feel a mix of all emotions, I cried alone,then I was numb,then anger all that is completely normal.

    I waited 6 weeks of tests,scans,a groin biopsy and a bone marrow biopsy which I had 4 days ago now still recovering from that and got told I had Lymphoma,I start chemo tomoro!  :-(

    Try to talk on here if you feel you need to,I know it's hard to talk to family I'm the same.

    Good luck and let us know how your are?

    Best wishes
