Hey Trish,
I’m so sorry about your cancer diagnosis.
I wasn’t much older than you when I was diagnosed with Stage IV base of tongue, throat and lymph nodes.
I’m now 62 years old soon to be 63.
I had too much cancer for surgery so they had to hit me as hard as possible with chemo and radiation.
Be sure to trust your care team, go in believing that they will shrink and kill that cancer, providing chemotherapy and radiation are the methods used.
I don’t want to go into detail until you know if you’re going to receive chemotherapy and radiation or surgery etc.
Keep me updated and you can pm me if you’d rather.
If you’re going to get chemotherapy and radiation I will give you plenty of information.
Until then, fight the good fight and get the mindset of you will survive!
MOJO
