I’m 57 and love life. Nothing terribly exciting about my life; completely based around my family of three boys and my grandchildren. I met my partner three years ago and that was like meeting the person you wished you could have met in your 20s. I went to my GP with a lump on my neck thinking nothing of it. Before you knew it, I was having a CT scan, meeting a specialist to discuss my symptoms of which there were only two - the lump and my voice sounding a little husky for the past couple of days. Turns out that is also a symptom. Currently waiting for a diagnosis and finding it very difficult to function. Strange that this is the year I decided to lose weight (2 stone down so far and expecting a big loss this week with all this stress and very little food being eaten) and stopping smoking. So there was me looking and feeling better than I have done for years. Now this. Hoping that if I get a cancer diagnosis the tears will stop and I can move towards getting treatment and being pro-active,
