tonsil cancer...our story so far xx

1 minute read time.

thought i wud give an update...before my head explodes!!!!

16th september .......another hospital appointment with oncologist. he went over all the history to the onset of trev s cancer...all the way back. then he went over what had happened reg the peg and trachy. told us that the cancer is in tonsil and lymph node in neck..large one!!! also then sed its at back of tongue because of the location of the tonsil. i didnt expect that!!! hadnt been mentioned before. the doc went on to say they had decided on treatment......3 cycles of extensive chemo...4 day in hospital...3 weeks off....repeated 3 times.  then  a month off and then they will start combined radio and chemo daily for 6 weeks. he sed the initial chemo will go right thru the body....so now we lookin at hair losss which we didnt expect at all. they went on to ask about sperm preservation!! which again we didnt expect!!!! they sed if he wanted to preserve any then they wud have to delay treatment a little....he s sed no way just crack on with the chemo!!!  soo....he starts on monday!!! first cycle.

he s been so strong.....i teared up a bit in the hospital. just one thing after another!!! pleased its starting tho. he was sorta looking after me!!! i ve tried to be so strong but it just got to me in his mams house and i broke down. i look at him and he s so lovely....i cant bare the thought of losing him!!! really cant!! know we got to thnk positive but just a little low tonight. i stopped cryin 2 weeks ago...and they back with a vengeance!! sure it ll pass

thanks for listenin!
