in Head and Neck Cancer #1

I haven't gotten to meet someone my age who has had to deal with having cancer and would really love to talk to someone.

    Hi! I haven't seeing that

    Hi! I haven't seeing that many young folks around here. I'm in my 30s. I know it is not the same but I would be more than happy to talk. :)

    Just had my first appointment

    Been a month and 2 days and will loose the front 2/3 of my tongue although I should still be able to swallow and talk with a impediment (although it may be a improvement to what it is now). That will probably happen next month just before my exams.

    Not doing too bad

    Although that will most likely change the closer I get to the surgery. Mostly glad that I should still be able to swallow, I don't really talk much so a impairment in my speech will probably not have a huge impact with me. Plus I have lots of uncertainty about radiation and my exams but if I get out of hospital in time I should still be able to do the important ones.

    km and kjp, i'm am so very

    km and kjp, i'm am so very sorry that you are in this battle.  it always makes me a little more sad when the new members are so young.  kjp, I wish you the very best with your surgery and i pray the transition will not be too rough on you.  i pray you will learn to like the "new" you and go on living at full speed.  km, i don't know what your tx will be but i am also praying for you.  you will both get through this but you are in for a rough ride.  stay strong and stay positive, that will help a lot!

    God bless you both.
