Hello this is my first post and I suppose my introduction. I am 39, live in the UK and am married with one daughter.
I had tonsil cancer about three years ago and underwent a radical neck dissection followed by 34 radiotherapy sessions which together cured the cancer. The problem is that the treatment has left big psycological problems especially with short term memory. The thing is now that my mother has been told that she has breast cancer and faces surgury/chemotherapy. This has brought back all of the pain and emotions that I went through at the time and I am now finding it difficult to cope without my wife I think that I would have given in. I suppose what I want are answers to all of the issues that I have but I know that I am not going to get them. Does anyone have similar experiences ?
