Hi my husband has nasopharyngeal and lymp nodes (neck) cancer, it’s his finished over 250 hours of chemo and 28 sessions on radiotherapy. It’s been 7 weeks since finishing the radiotherapy. He had a Oncologist appointment Monday just gone where the doctor felt his neck and couldn’t feel anything, but this morning ( Saturday ) I noticed one side of my husband neck is swollen ( there was swelling on both sides before treatment) Is this where the doctor pressed on his neck or should we be worried.
Hi and a warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read that your husband has nasopharyngeal cancer and it's always worrying when you notice something different.
The online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the head and neck cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and 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 pop something about your husband's diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with 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.
