HI, I have just joined this community because my wife was diagnosed with Tonsil Cancer last week.
We are starting that journey through Preps, Treatment and God willing the Recovery period now.
This diagnose has made me realise I am definitely going to need help with most aspects of this journey and how best to support my wife and two group up boys.
Sadly it has made me realise that I don't have anyone else really close to me who I feel I can go to for support or advice, even though I have family.
So although it early days into this journey. I want to ask for advice on how from other families and friends on here about their experiences of helping/supporting their love ones along this journey.
Many thanks for anyone who can share their experiences. I realise it's not a black and white answer and there is probably no right or wrong way as we are all different.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
