New to forum. My husband who is 61 just diagnosed this week with tongue cancer. Had lymph node biopsies on wed and having biopsy of tumour on Monday. He is 61 and type 1 diabetic. He has had good health up until now. Problem started with persistant sore throat that gp failed to see as red flag. Feel angry and scared. Been told will be 6 weeks intensive radio and chemo therapy. Any one else had similar situation
Hi Brisbane1 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your husband has just been diagnosed with tongue cancer and I know what a difficult time waiting to start treatment can be.
As the online community is divided into different support forums, I'm going to recommend that you also join the head and neck cancer forum which is a great place to ask questions and share experiences with others who have a similar diagnosis to your husband.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your husband's diagnosis and proposed treatment to into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
