Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Where do I start.  Last week my consultant broke the news of SCC to me. Thought I had misheard her. How do I feel or how should I feel. My emotions are all over the place.  "Oh you'll be fine" everyone tells me.   Tell that to my brain when I live alone and already an overthinker.  I hate the word cancer and its seriously keeping me from sleeping, socialising and its only been a week!  It bleeds regularly.   Is the common?  So so many questions.  I know there are people a lot worse off than me and I send my  love to you all.  Hopefully my surgery will be done reasonably quickly

  • Hi Anne,

    I get the initial shock and the word cancer sends shivers so understand. On the positive side I was diagnosed with this on my throat 2018, and after treatment have no side effects, and lead totally normal life. Sometimes just a blip in life but so advanced now with treatment. Message me if you would find helpful as you are not alone 

  • Hi sorry to trouble you, but are you the gentleman I think from Scotland?, when I got diagnosed in 2021 with throat cancer I read yours and a lady called Hazels day to day update on your journey, it was very helpful I’d now like to pass it on to someone who’s been diagnosed but can’t find it , apologies if I have the wrong person. 

  • Hi Bushy,
