Hi everyone
I have just joined the forum and was really looking for help and advice supporting my husband through his treatment for throat cancer.
We are on week 3 of 7 and the side effects have really kicked in this week and he’s struggling. I’m finding it hard to see him so frustrated with it all. He needs to rest but his journey to the hospital is 90 minutes each way. He needs to eat but everything tastes awful, he’s struggling to swallow and has mucositis.
I also feel so bad for our 16 year old who is also watching his formerly very upbeat dad become quiet and withdrawn. Has anyone else been through this and have any advice? Things their partners could still taste etc.
Any advice/support would be so appreciated.
Many thanks
Hi SandyD57e4d8 and a warm welcome to the Macmillan Community but so sorry to hear about your husband’s diagnosis.
The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I recommend you look to join and post in our…….
……. support group.
This group is a safe place to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support from family members who are navigating the same support journey.
