I've recently found out I have tonsil Cancer early stages but I feel in disbelief and broken .I ve been told it's fully curable and it will be treated by 2 chemo sessions and 6weeks 5days a week of radiotherapy. All the side effects are really worrying too .
Hi Nick, my partner is currently going through this.
He hasn’t started treatment yet but is suffering with dull constant headaches and is extremely tired already. Did any of this happen to you before? I’m thinking if he’s like this now what will he be like with treatment?
Also looking to support him the best I can, so if you have any tips I would be grateful
