Hi all. My husband has just had surgery to remove a cancerous tumour from his neck. He is a week into 6 week course of radiotherapy. We have two granddaughters who are expecting their first babies. Are the safe to visit us? Sorry if my question seems ignorant but I am panicking about it. Thank you for reading my question.
Hi Tin66 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
It's natural to want to know how treatment might affect your husband and those around him and no question is 'ignorant'.
As the online community is divided into different support forums I'm going to recommend that you join the head and neck cancer forum which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support from 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 treatment to date 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.
