Experience Details
Date Entered at Shared Experience: 03/19/2002
Cancer Type: MOUTH
Diagnosis: mouth and throat
Chemo Drugs:
Treatment: 11 hour operation + radiotherapy
Quality of Life: shit. Unable to eat and unable to speak
Information Gathering: They only tell you what they need you to know. I was fine after the operation it was the Radiotherapy that has done me in
General Comments: They say the Cancer can come back but I will NEVER have another operation.
I went to one hospital who after a boipsy said there was nothing there no Cancer.After a few months the white spot got bigger as did the lumps in my throat ( DR said these were glands ) I referred myself to the Middlesex Hospital in London and I knew by the way they were talking I had Cancer although they waited for the Biopsy result. From result to operation was 11 days.
