Yes there are those worse off, but that won’t help you, or will it

I have 2 friends who both had cancer. One had it in his tongue and the other in his throat. The one who had it in his tongue, had his tongue removed and half his jaw was cut away. When that healed, a new tongue was made from a leg muscle and transplanted into his mouth. A prosthetic bone replaced his jaw. That was 10 years ago, with the surgery being carried out in Bristol. He speaks with a permanent lisp

The other friend had radium needles left in his mouth for a week and the cancer was completely removed with mouth and neck surgery carried out in South Africa. He wears a false beard whenever he goes out, to hide the scarring.

Both must have been through the mill, a bit like yourself and to this day, they continue to remain cancer free

So, chin up and be lucky!
