New diagnosis

Hi there 

this is my first post. My comment is simple. My husband is newly diagnosed with a tumour in his neck. I dont know how to cope. All we know is that he's had surgery which apparently was successful but the cancer was in the lymph nodes. I'm paralysed with fear and don't know what to do. I can't eat or sleep.

    Hi 

    I am so sorry to hear about your dear mum. 
    my husband has been told he has to have radiotherapy but other than that I don't know. This thing is just so awful. I've never been in this situation before and I fear I'm handling it very badly. 
    Liz. Xx

    Hi Liz 

    It's very hard to try to be positive but they are going to treat him with radiotherapy, I am in the same boat I am terrified of the unknown I fear also I am handling this badly but in this time of darkness I think what would mum say to me she would tell me to be strong and what is meant for you won't pass by you try to think what your husband would tell you, 

    it's going to be tough Liz but try to stay strong it maybe a long road ahead but when your husband has his treatment he will need you to be strong for him xx
