Dear Jen

It is so tough to be given a Stage IV diagnosis and I understand how you are feeling. I also had a neck lump as the first indication of a problem but, like others, I am now 2yrs from diagnosis and getting on with life.

Joining this forum is a great way for you to express your feelings and to come to acceptance of the situation. You will find so much support and helpful advice here. As Ken says, others are walking beside you to help you on your journey.

Sound like you have excellent medical support and a loving family who will help you.

You are in my thoughts, love and light from Helen
