Hi Angie, I too want to say hello. This is absolutely the best support Forum there is. Come here often to ask questions and seek support. There will always be someone who can guide and support you.
I want you to know that You will get through this. Yes, it can be a hard road, but you will get through this. Surround yourself with loving and supportive Family and Friends. They will help with the daily logistics of getting to treatments and helping you manage everyday life as well as the so important lifting of your spirits. We here will understand what you are going through and give you advice on many many things. Coping with the trach, secretions, speech, chemo , diet etc.
Re read Christine's advice above.
Always stay positive, come here to vent if you need. We get it.
Thinking of you,
Tammy
