Post all you want, f*ck the trolls and idiots and remember even Bruce Dickinson is back on stage after it!

It’s important to raise awareness that HPV positive throat cancer is on the rise amongst men- and the vaccine should be compulsory for all school children to nail it before it even starts.

Luckily my scare turned out to be Streptococcus throat causing a huge lymph swelling on one side, a horrible looking tonsil described as ‘gamy’ by a no bullshit A and E doctor, and lots of other symptoms.

So I will try and explain what day to day life is like, each morning I wake up can’t swallow it’s far to sore but you have to, mix up medicines flush my stomach pipe, I can’t swallow pills now so everything has to be dispersed ( chocked on a pill Sunday)

Tastes, I have no sense of taste at all, everything tastes like flour and water mixed, baked beans - flour and water with globules of flour..

yuk!!

Throat is constantly raw, no saliva means when you eat you can’t get rid of most of it as it sticks to your gums, so mouthwashing is necessary

I am so tired now I slept most of the day and sleep at night.

Lost 5 kgs min in weight

But, I’m still positive still got my sense of humour ( well I think it’s humour) so I’ll beat the cancer!!! Hopes

I doubt it was real. You don't get warned that threads are going to be deleted, they just disappear.

Anyway.... It's still here and lots of people want it to stay. Very brave of yourself to post your story here

Hi all.

To stellaheels and anyone else who's affected by this here's the best advice I can give regarding cancer...

Accept all the treatment offered and the advice of specialists.

Take all the love given, it helps enormously and will keep you strong in those dark days of self doubt.

Never give up!! You self belief and fuck 'em attitude are your weapons, if you don't naturally posses this attitude then find it.

I could fill this thread with my story and my advice, if you want to hear it then message me but lastly are the 2 most important things to do...

How your feeling inside is most important!! You know that feeling of joy you get inside when you hear your favourite song, or excitement as a child just before you opened Xmas presents...find that feeling now, whatever makes you feel that way then do it! Endorphins released in your brain also produce cancer fighting antibodies.

Lastly though I said to listen to specialist advice take no notice of any bad news or there's only a percentage of... kinda talk. Visualise the finishing post and you running through breaking the tape.

What qualifies me to say all this?

At the age of 20 I'd already been diabetic 12 months when after 2 months in hospital enduring constant tests I was diagnosed having Hodgkin's Lymphoma stage 4, there isn't a stage 5. I was so I'll cancer specialists have me 6 months to live. Though my aggressive chemo lasted 6 months I beat it in 3.that was 29 years ago.

It's a roller coaster ride of waiting, setbacks and good/bad news but hang on and never give in.

The thread should stay, people should not judge and decide how you act and share your story.

They will judge and moan but it’s human nature. Let them just pass by if it’s not for them .

It’s very, very personal and I’m sure we all appreciate you sharing with us. Whatever it takes to help you or other deal with the situation you have our support. XxX

Not sure where to start really lol but to the sceptics out on my fathers eternal soul it's all true...

A quick for the few who are interested.

Born 25/6/69 just a couple of weeks before Neil Armstrong did his thing. Nothing remarkable happened, 7lbs 6oz. The Dr who delivered me said "a fine figure of a boy" lol for some reason my parents never let me forget that.

An ordinary loving childhood full of BMX bikes and climbing trees, a career in the army was all I dreamed of. No real medical dramas apart from a couple of broken arms from riding a BMX, both were to impress girls so nothing changes for those who know me lol.

2/289 my world came crashing down. After showing all the classic signs I was diagnosed with type1 diabetes, I remember almost whimpering to myself as I injected myself for the first time in front of the nurse. Of course whilst looking all manly and tuff.

It stopped my ideas of the military life I still so wanted. I'd been an Army Reservist for 18 months and just about to transfer to the Royal Marines basic training.

Nearly 12 months later 28/1/90 I was taken into hospital, my diabetic sugar levels were dangerously high. As serious as that was I still should've only been in hospital for a few days yet weeks of testing went by with them saying I'd got some kind of infection.

Ultra sound and CT scans showed nothing, countless blood tests were just as baffling. On the 7th week of my hospital stay I had a bone marrow test. A week later a Dr came into my room and said I'd got Hodgkin's Lymphoma and I'd start my chemotherapy the following week then quickly left. I had no idea what he was talking about, no idea what chemo was. My mother was coincidently visiting me at the time and followed the Dr out. She knew what chemo ment but told the Dr he'd better explain it to me as I'd have lots of questions to ask and if she told me she'd not have the answers.

Next morning another Dr came in and asked me if I knew what Hodgkin's was? I of course didn't.

He told me that I'd not shown any symptoms but was already at the final stage. Then he said it was cancer, it's that the worst word in our language?

It was my natural reaction to apologise to the guy for having to tell me that, "it must be the worst part of your job" I said. I asked him how long I had left? 6 months give or take he replied.

I'll officially admit I've cried on a number of occasions but that wasn't one of them. Not straight away lol.

Chemo was tuff on me, I think it had the consistency of cheap bleach and for 22 hours I threw up everything I had up and then some.

On the plus side though I was the darling of the ward to all the nurses, not hard though as all the others were in their 70's and 80's lol but my room was always full of young trainees

On this high note I'll post this to give those who are waiting something to read, I'll type out the rest now so hang around x

"So I will try and explain what day to day life is like, each morning I wake up can’t swallow it’s far to sore but you have to, mix up medicines flush my stomach pipe, I can’t swallow pills now so everything has to be dispersed ( chocked on a pill Sunday)

Tastes, I have no sense of taste at all, everything tastes like flour and water mixed, baked beans - flour and water with globules of flour..

yuk!!

Throat is constantly raw, no saliva means when you eat you can’t get rid of most of it as it sticks to your gums, so mouthwashing is necessary

I am so tired now I slept most of the day and sleep at night.

Lost 5 kgs min in weight

But, I’m still positive still got my sense of humour ( well I think it’s humour) so I’ll beat the cancer!!! Hopes"

If your head says you'll beat it you've done the hard bit it's all down to medication now, fingers crossed for you.

On the plus side if you get chance to try the NHS wigs on try them all it's a good laugh x

I've always been a flirt with girls so the nurses were a welcome distraction from the 22 tablets I took for breakfast and constant blood tests.

I didn't completely loose my hair though, that was kinda important to me for some reason. If there's any inspiration to this story, perhaps a turning point here it is...

I had chemo on a Wednesday, then the following Wednesday then one week off to let my body recover from the poison behind fed to me.

One Wednesday I went into hospital for chemo and firstly had a blood test to see how my white cell count was. Too low and I couldn't have the chemo.

Up until this point(about 2 months in) I'd been positive throughout. But that day felt wrong, I was sick of feeling constantly sick. My weight had gone down to 9st from 12 1/2st.

A woman Dr came in to tell me my cell count was ok and I'd be on chemo after lunch. I wasn't my usual flirty joking self. She asked what was wrong and I said nothing. I wanted to reject the treatment and give up that day.

She said "ok..I won't put you on today, if your mind isn't going to accept the chemo I believe it won't work. You can go on tomorrow if you like?"

I felt shameful I wasn't brave enough to carry on, but glad I'd put it off a day.

It was a sunny day and about an hour later she asked if I'd like to walk with her over to the renal unit across the car park. She was gorgeous so I jumped at the chance lol.

When we got there I saw all these kidney patients sitting there having their blood pumped round machines. They do that for 8 hours 3 times a week. I looked at them and although I'm sure they weren't under a death sentence like me I actually felt lucky.

If I could beat this then hopefully I'd never have to come into hospital again unlike the poor souls who unless they had successful transplants would always be coming back 3 times a week.

Perhaps there was something worth fighting for...I never felt down about it again thereafter.

About a month after that I had a CT scan to see if the chemo was having any affect, to the astonishment of medical staff not to mention myself it had gone lol. It took me only 3 months of my 6 month death sentence to win.

I ha beaten it just before my 21st birthday. I put it down to great Dr's, a loving network of family and friends, great looking nurses lol and a whole lotta luck. But even with all that said, positive attitude and a sense of humour is a large part of my recovery.

I'm 49 now and been in remission ever since. My medical files are the size of 2 phone books as I had more medical woes over the years but it makes me smile everyone I see a nurse try and pick them up, especially if she's cute lol.

I'm disturbed to see some people have criticised the content of this thread, obviously nothing like this has ever affected them? These things don't happen to you because of a lifestyle choice, I never asked for this to happen. But if you really can't spare the fab space, or are so offended that some of us have issues not to do with sex then I'm really sorry I and others have upset you. To those I say take a look at my profile, there's a picture of my cock in my pictures...you know what to do. To the rest live it fabbers, this ain't a rehearsal xx
