Hi Everyone
I just found out today that I have head and neck cancer. They did a biopsy on my lymph node and found cancer. I will go to MD Anderson in two weeks and hopefully find the primary tumor. Then the treatments. I am scared. I have full time job and two kids. Times are going to be tough.
Yes, start a new thread to have it as yours and be able to read all your personal responses instead of buried here.
You will find lots of great support here on this forum, it is a good place because we share the experience.
I was pretty much at the top of my health in the summer, 43 years old, great wife, two young kids, noticed a swollen lymph node, needle biopsy confirmed, no visible primary until they did a left tonsillectomy. It's a challenging road full of mixed feelings, emotions, life changes, but it's doable chemorad. We all make it through treatment.
For whatever reason, this news report gives me inspiration, reminds me of you, mom with kids.
She looks good, note this is well after her treatment has completed, but it's your light at the end.

I told my boys today...17 and 12. They seem a bit depressed, but I told them we would get through it. I don't know how to start my own thread.
How much work did you miss? I like my job and wonder if I will lose; however, my life if much more important than my job....I will try to figure out how to do my own thread.
