in Head and Neck Cancer #1

Hi everyone,

This is Chris50, now 53 as of February 18.  I wanted to check in to say I received the best news two weeks before my 53rd birthday—2 and almost 1/2 years NED Pet scan for HPV P16+ head and neck cancer (one tonsil tumor plus 1-3 lymph node involvement).  I experienced a great deal of anxiety leading up to the PET scan, and I have really experienced a sense of relief ever since.  This discussion board has been invaluable ever since I received my diagnosis in July 2016.  I have turned to it so many times when a symptom or a pain arises.  So thank you CSN, and to each and every one of you who makes part of our community.

    Congratulations, Chris!  Happy Birthday and wishing you 53 more years of NEDs!  Okay, that might be pushing it, but we gotta think BIG, right?

    CHRIS50,

    CHRIS50,

    A NED is a very good thing. It sounds like it was a battle for you, but you are doing ok. The anxiety can be a lot to handle.  I had to take Lorazepam just to get through the mask.  I tried without the (one magic pill), but it was a no go.  Not to worry, the pill worked and v ry well I must say.

    NED 24/7 for you!

    Matt
