Hi Amy

Oh dear what can I say to help?

The " she" that did your scan, was she a doctor? If not then she seems to have given you too much information. In my case nobody tells me anything at all even when I ask, I am told the consultant will give you information and results when you see him. You can see the reasoning behind this,since what youve been told has put you into high stress mode,and you have no consultant to get info from as yet.

It is still early days in your investigations. You will possibly have quite a few tests etc to come before you know one way or the other.

Your scan is not definative it is only indicating that further investigation is required, so try to keep that in mind.

I had a CT scan that returned a node negative result. Consultant was not accepting that and consulted with collegues and it was decided that I had to have a further test which revealed positive nodes. So it just goes to show that all the best technology in the world can get it wrong.

There is no point in me saying stay off google since youve already been there! Dr Google only seems to point to worst case scenarios,and its so easy to link ones symptoms to what is written on there. There have been many people come here frightened out of their witts from reading stuff on there and mostly ends up up they have not got cancer but something more benign.

So hopefully you will be seen on Thursday and not kept waiting for an appt. Do let us know.

So lovely to hear of upcoming wedding! Concentrate on that and carry on. No more tears for now pick yourself up and be strong!

Hi New here..Hope you dont mind me writing...?.but my husbands about to start this journey...prob within 2 weeks...want to get on with it but emotionally its sooo hard...hes coping better than me...I cant even tell people without breaking down & have known for a few weeks now.Been for'planning' today which makes this nightmare more real. Was told losing my mum to cancer 2 years ago would be the hardest thing I would ever experience...wrong..this is.

Hi  then ither half 

hang in i there  ive written a blog www.radioactiveraz.wordpress.com and my hubby who is in your position alsomdid a contribution from his,point of view as being the other half.

its equally as hard for you the caree as opposed to me the patient . All I can say is I’d incan do it a 61 female who is a wimp anyine can do it. 

Treatment is hard n brutal might as well be honest recovery varies but it’s nit a walk in the park but the end result does have a good outcome. 

Do you know the diagnosis yesterday I was a TN2N2NM0

hoos your head up high walk tall it’s doable

Other Half,

Can understand your anxiety and upset and i'm not going to lie and say its an easy journey because its not. However while a challenging time the chances of success and cure are high and the light at the end of the tunnel exists.

I have also written a blog, warts and all, and breaks my journey down week by week from the start. It also has a helpful section with tips.
I was diagnosed with Throat Cancer last June and cut long story short, after all treatment etc was given all clear on 5th March,

Please feel free to friend request me if you feel that will help on a one to one as I have done with others. Please keep us posted on progress

Hi Other half.

This is the hardest thing to face. You go through so many emotions and it doesnt seem to get any better,but it will. There is light at the end. My husband went through this and now its myself who is facing it. We drew two short straws!

Its really good that your husband is coping,he sounds like a strong person.

Both Ian and Hazel blogs are a place to visit with their first hand experience. It will help you understand what to expect at various stages of the treatment.

I find the most tremendous support here so many kind, friendly folks.

So dry your eyes and get ready to be his rock. xx
