Hi

I wish you all the best for tomorrow, I took diazepan when I had my scans and lots of deep breathing and visualising.  I know it will be different but it might help.  Thinking of you xx

Hi there 

Just thought Id offer some support as my husband was diagnosed with tonsil cancer in Dec 2015. He had 5 cycles of cistplatin and 30 fractions of VMAT radiotherapy last year culminating in a neck dissection in July as unfortunately this didn't get rid of the secondary tumour in his ymph nodes. Hes now in remission and I just wanted to say that the human spirit is fantastic and you will find a way to get through the treatment and come out the other side. Hopefully you have either family or friends to support you as you travel this road.

Best of luck xx
