Clinic Appointment today was full on . So much information to take in. The consultant confirmed that they had removed 2 large tumors from My husbands tongue and lymph glands and sourround tissue as the cancer had broken through the gland wall. They did cut his lower jaw through and removed 3 teeth and a buried wisdom tooth.
The next step is the planning of the next treatment. 6/7 weeks of radiotherapy and 2 of chemotherapy simultaneously. The effects of which are going to be horrendous. I do not want this for him . It’s heart breaking. He is a calm quiet man who will dig deep into her s amazing inner strength and I am sure he will do this and get to the other side . He has coped with the surgery so well although this feels like a higher mountain to climb.
I am going to be looking for all sorts of advice, hints and tips to help me to get him through this ordeal!
