I would like to say hello to anyone. I was told I had cancer of the parotid gland after it was removed in October. I am waiting now to find out when I need to start radiation therapy, after seeing the Oncologist yesterday. It was hard, hearing the word cancer used so many times. All along I had been told the tumor would not be malignant, it was really rare. I guess I just want to hear from people who understand what I am going through. I am finding it hard to cope at the moment but I also feel that I don't deserve to feel the way I do.
I am starting radiation therapy next Wednesday for 7 weeks, I am nervous but glad it is starting, though I am not looking forward to the side effects. I have also started seeing the Cancer Support centre at the hospital I am going through, it is great to talk to someone, one on one, and have a good cry.
