Hello Brian,
I am 53 and live in London.This site has been a massive support and boost to my handling the news I have cancer in my Lymph node. after 6 or 7 usual prelimanry tests it looks like HPV on tongue may be the primary.
This site is so simple so supportive in content and really settles many of my initial questions.
I will let you know how the British NHS national health services looks after me so far I have been impressed. I have no pain or discomfort (as yet) but realize I am going to have to get worse before I get better.
Daft question if I start trying to get fit jogging cycling am I going to drain all my energies while recieving the usual radiation and chemo?? cheers all Keith.
PS. I am intending this as a first post were does it go??
