my Husband, and how i had been to see his GP about the pain he was
getting in his hip and leg. Well he is going to have a hip replacement in
January, so hopefully he will be able to walk without the terrible pain he
is experiencing now.Tonight he had a call from his brother to say he was
going into hospital on friday to have a cancer growth taken from under his
tongue.Last year he had melanoma on his shoulder then his neck, and thy
have told him the cancer under his tongue is nothing to do with the melanoma.Being a nurse who cared for cancer patients ,i find this very
difficult to believe. My husbands Mother and Father had cancer, thy have
died from there cancer many years ago. My Husbands older brother has
kidney and bowel cancer, his first cousin has stomach cancer and his other
cousin has blood cancer, and his aunt died with bone cancer. Now his
middle brother has tongue cancer, am i worried VERY. Since we heard the
news about his brother tonight my Husband has been very quite, seems to
be miles away, so i dont feel as if we can talk about all this at the moment,
and i dont think he wants to anyway. Can Melanoma go into secondaries
somewhere else?, Would appreciate if anyone could tell me if its happend
to them ,or someone thy know.Thank you for reading this.
With Love Lucy Lee. xxx
