I was diagnosed with Adenoid cystic carcinoma in my right salivary gland at the beginning of December 2016. What a roller coaster this is! It just seems that every appointment I go to more information is given and it's more to take in. It's getting so overwhelming! I'm quite a positive person but this last week I'm feeling the pressure and reality of it all.

I had surgery to remove the tumor on the 12th Jan and had to go back to hospital 3 weeks after with a blood clot and infection. I have to have Radiotherapy for 6 and a half weeks which starts on 7th March and have my mask fitting on 21st Feb. 

I'm only 32 and although I have so much support from my family and friends, I have joined here for the support from people who are in a similar boat to me and understand a bit more....if that makes sense.

I have a rare from of cancer so it's difficult to find someone in a exactly the same boat but it's more the fear of the unknown that's scary. 

Anyway I've babbled on far too long. Just if anyone has or is currently or even about to go through radiotherapy like myself and want to chat I'd love that.
