Hi Andy

Poor you, I know only too well what you are going through. Before I got my results I was send an appointment for a MRI head and neck scan and then a CT scan for my thorax so I knew before my appointment that it wouldn't be good news but it could all be routine and they might just be checking.

Roll on tomorrow, at least you will know what you may have to deal with and if you do need RT at least you will be able to get rid of it once and for all. Try not to get too down - easier said than done I know.

I'll be posting tomorrow to see how you get on - good luck!

Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear of your husbands cancer but glad to hear our posts have helped. When your first told you don't quite know where to turn thats why I decided to post and see if there was anyone else going through the same thing. As you can see fortunately people did respond and its been a huge source of support to all of us as people on the outside don't always understand what we are going through, Marion and Chris have been especially helpful.

It sounds like your husbands cancer is at a very early stage and can be successfully treated with laser and he will be monitored carefully through out. As you can see from our stories its not always an easy ride and there are lots of ups and downs along the way. Its always best to remember that this disease affects everyone differently and while its useful to know what might happen in one person may not be the case for the other so don't be too disheartened by our stories, hopefully soon there will be light at the end of the tunnel for all of us as there has been for Marion. In the meantime if you want any information or just a chat don't hesitate to ask.

Regards

Andy

Thanks Marion, will let you know how I get on.

Hi Marion

will keep you informed he is going for laser and biopsy on 10 november.

I hope you had a good trip.

i am a realist, but also my glass is always half full, so i live in hope i needed to know the good the bad and the ugly and i am gratefull you all told me honestly without even knowing it. i started reading the first day we were told it was the dreaded C word. i am sure so many more people read and do not post it feels like stepping on a private conversation but i needed you to know how helpfull you all were.

Thank you

Lucky us

Hi Andy

Thank you for your kind reply, i have gone on this site every day since we found out. in perticular this post ( as it was so relevant) i am a get the knowledge person and my husband puts his head in the sand ony asking me the odd question.

Although he is at the very early stage and i am so gratefull it was diagnosed early i do realise we are on a long long road for a few years now. and through reading this post i have gained so much knowledge about the treatments.

Thanks again

Lucky us

Really glad to hear we have been of some help. The last few days have been difficult and your posts have cheered me up, just knowing that someone else has benefitted from what we write here, its good to see something positive has come from it. Please feel free to read the posts and comment and keep us up to date on your husbands progress.

All the best

Andy

Hi Luckyus

It's great that you are a realist, I am the other way round with the glass half empty! Your husband is very fortunate to have you there for him to face the facts but at the same time being positive. I am sure he will be fine as I was a T3 when I started my treatment and I am 3 years post -treatment, disease free (touch wood!) and my voice back to normal.

I'm so glad you have been reading our posts and that it has helped you have a better understanding of laryngeal cancer. My daughter's friend aged just 30 has just been diagnosed with the same and is waiting to start her treatment next month. I am going to meet her next week as she wants to ask lots of questions and I hope that I will be able to reassure her.

Please let us know how your husband gets on after 10 November and remember we are here for you.

Take care

Hi Andy

I'm thinking of you. Let me know how you got on today when you get a chance!

Love Marion x

HI Andy

I'll be thinking of you and keeping everything crossed making typing very difficult!

I'll check later to see how you are. I have to log off now as I'm at work and my lunch break is over.

Try not to worry
