I’m new here. My husband has tonsil cancer and there was cancerous lymph nodes in the neck. He had chemo and radiation, he’s seven months out and he had a biopsy on neck and there was a cancerous lymph nodes, so treatment didn’t get it all. Then he had a neck dissection two weeks ago so recovering. Now the dr said there micro cancerous cells so probably will do more chemo, that’s not what we wanted to hear. He’s 78 so that’s hard at this age. We talk to Dr tomorrow maybe there’s other options. Did anyone have this happen? We’re both so worried.
Hi ChrisB24 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 sounds like you and your husband have been through a tough time and it's natural to be worried.
