In 2001 I was diagnosed with breast cancer . Two mastectomies later it returned 6 years ago in my breast bone and lung lining. I have had a variety of hormone treatments but last Autumn I had to start on chemotherapy. This week my husband has had confirmation that he has throat cancer and faces 4-6 weeks of daily radiotherapy . I have taken My own treatment pretty much in my stride but am apprehensive that I won’t have the stamina to cope with running two lots of treatment and provide the support for him. Plus the fears about the future. Knowing it is coming is one thing , facing it is another. Had anyone else been in the same boat or similar who can offer an ear or strategies?
So sorry to hear your news. There is a group here dedicated to head and neck cancer and many of us there have survived throat cancer and thrived. Do join us and we can help. Just click in the link here
