Hi. My name is Mickey. I was diagnosed yesterday with neck cancer. It is in my jugular gland and they say that it has invaded my lymph nodes. I haven't had my PET scan yet to see if it's traveled anywhere else. I'm a 50 yo male who is not emotional. But, now I'm a fury of emotion. Mostly sadness. How do I deal with the emotion.

Mickey, I am 2 years out of treatment. I can say, I am absolutely stronger physically and spiritually than pre cancer. I know how you are feeling with all the what ifs and how to’s your mind throws at you. Take it a day at a time, follow your doctor’s and nurses instruction. Pray to the God that loves you, and let your friends and family help you.
You will get through this .

Hi @bankit3, I thought I would check in. The emotional rollercoaster is a pretty normal - and understandable - reaction to hearing about a cancer diagnosis. Have you had your PET scan? How are you doing?
