Trusted Lads And Ladies - How's It Going?

[Dan]

I haven't posted in here for ages, so thought I'd ask how you all are!
How the hell are you all?

Well I havent shared it on the forum , but I am undergoing treatment for head and neck cancer and have been in Mount Vernon hospital for the past 3 weeks prognosis is good but the treatment has been really tough,its going to take several months before I am back working
TF and facebook have been a good escape mentally

Jesus Christ matey get well soon!!! Recently had a friend cleared about about a years worth of various treatments. They work wonders these days.

I got diagnosed in February , had loads of scans , tonsils out, neck dissection operation, chemo therapy and radiotherapy, had a lump on my neck which was cancerous but they wanted to find where it came from , they know it started somewhere in the back of the mouth , tongue or tonsils but no amount of searching could find it so they give you a full blast of treatment to all areas
Good news is it is a curable cancer it was caused by HPV virus not drinking or smoking , head and neck Hpv cancers have 85% plus survival rates if caught in time so fingers crossed I should be fine

Best of luck Gary, I've just read the thread.
My brother in law got diagnosed last year with liver cancer at 28, 46% of his liver was in bad shape, they tried a new American treatment on him and low and behold he is now cancer free, the advancements in treatments is amazing now.
Good luck with your recovery mate
