Looking for correct group

Can anyone please advise if there is an HU group for my circumstances.

I have SCC from parotid gland which has spread to neck lymph nodes.

It's been removed by neck dissection and I'm on day 2 of Radio Therapy.

Looking for support for the side effects of RT as well as recovery from the surgery.

Thanks

Here is a link to search the communities on HU

I don't know what SCC is but if you put the relevant phrase in the search box you'll see whether there is an appropriate community.

Thanks SCC is squamous cell carcinoma.

Nothing pops up but thanks for the reply.

I think it could be Squamous Cell Carcinoma?

I found this forum:

Skin Cancer UK

healthunlocked.com/search/c...

I also did a search for all cancer-related forums - this displays the results of which there are six pages. I hope at least one is of help.

Hi aloneifly.I hope you are well, I see your post is a year old.

I had a parotidectomy due to a S.C.C not being treated in time leading to cancer in my lymph node and parotid gland just 2 weeks ago.

I really would like to compare notes and ask questions from someone who has undergone what I am undertaking.

Any help or information would be so welcome.

I would be be happy to do so.As soon as I have time I will do so.

I will message you rather than reply here as it is the incorrect forum probably
