Meet others living with Head & Neck Cancer: Introduce yourself

I am almost 2 years past my surgery for a malignant tumor on my tonsils, squamous cell. I am struggling with constant symptoms in my neck due to scar tissue. I feel I am grieving the loss of the fluidity that was in my neck and is likely not to return as specialists in the field have told me. I am grieving what is no longer there for me. I thought a group would be helpful.

I feel your pain. I have given up a lot of things in my life (mostly bad habits) and felt angry that I was having to give up eating, the one thing my mind told me that I enjoyed and could do. Also a list of other things. It has improved a little over time and I try to focus on the things that I do get to continue doing that I thought I may not be. Watching movies with my wife, kayaking with my friends, spending time with my son, daughter and grand babies are all things that were not taken away. I know it is hard not to be bitter and hurt and that's okay sometimes just try not to let it consume you and remember the things that you do have.
