Hi everyone my husband started off with a sore throat early December. After eventually going to the doctors he was put on 2 week wait. Fast forward, after several scans blood tests and biopsies he has been diagnosed with right side tonsil cancer with lymph nodes. He will be starting 6 weeks of radiation with weekly chemotherapy on the 10th of March. He is trying to stay positive for me I know that. But I am a complete mess, if I’m not crying then I want to scream. How do you all cope with such devastating news.
