in Head and Neck Cancer #1

Hi all that responded. When I went to bed yesterday am(night owl) I was discouraged, as I hadn't had any responses. When I just checked now, I was blown away with all of the people that wrote to me with compassion/welcome and support.

I now feel like I have a family and am not alone. Since I can only sleep in day; it limits my contact with folks and this site is awesome. You all understand.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will be on this site alot from now on. I am homebound from my last surgery as it's been subzero weather where I live and can't drive yet; so this online support is great!

Blessings to you all!

    Glad you're back

    Don't give up. They will get back to you. People pop in and out all day, and I get on after work and my family is all asleep. I work 2nd shift.

    Thanks for the welcome, Hondo. I really am so glad I finally found this site. You are seem like one big family that is there for each other. That is what I've been missing. i'm scared of course that the cancer will return as it did(or they didn't find it) 3 times. Need support and encouragement while I try to 'live my life'.

    God bless,

    I so appreciate your welcome. Do you know of anyone that has lost their nose or sinsus due to cancer. I am scared of recurrence as have had 3(or they just missed it) and need support and encouragement.

    Would love to hear your story.

    Do these posts get read by everyone? Can you communicate privately with a person?

    Blessings

Type in the name of the person you want to send a message to and it will go privately to them. You have to be logged in to see the notice that you have a reply to your e-mail(s) when you visit the site.
