I am 60 and was diagnosed with a head and neck cancer just over a year and a half ago. At first it is unbelievably hard but hopefully with treatment things will start to look better. As Peanutz said keep posting. ... View more

I do think some of the therapies you refer to work on some people some of the time. That can sometimes be said of the traditonal medicine too. I know when I had surgery that because I was 59 years old it was done less aggressively but if I had been 29 it would have been more aggressive.The thinking was that the more radical approach gives the best chance of a long life. On the other hand the disfigurement is greater for the young person. My doctor and I both struggled with the decision and he was genuinely concerned with my quality of life.My own reaearch shows that some believe that the radical approach is only better in the very short term so I'm now glad with the decision. I do think some doctors do care about our quality of life ,even if we are not young. ... View more

It can take a while for this news to to sink in even if you thought that it was cancer. My husband had cancer 6 years ago and next year if all is ok he will be considered clear but at times I still find the whole thing unreal. Mine was diagnosed early last year and there are times when I find myself thinking that it's all just a sick game ,not true. This is ridiculous and the truth is I want to wish it all away along with what it has done to our lives. It is sad that yours wasn't found sooner. At least now you know that they will be able to do something. ... View more

I get it about not looking after yourself properly.My cancer is not linked to any risk factors but I know that I stand in a better place if I become healthier. I should eat more veges, drink more water ,eat less carbs, eat no cakes and biscuits except those I cook myself and exercise more. These are my rules and I don't keep them but every day I tell myself to start afresh and be "good". I rarely drink alcohol and gave up smoking.I think that whatever I do the cancer will return when it decides and I do in fact believe it's not in my power to stop it . That's what this cancer does. The reason for a healthier lifestyle is enjoyment of the years left,whether few or many. ... View more

I haven't read the book. You said that you didn't like the bit about it being best that he got the cancer because it made him a better person .I have come across that attitude before. It's certainly not how I think or feel. Having cancer changed me in some ways ,some for the better ,some not. I may read the book some time. I used to read every night before cancer but not at all since. ... View more
