Hi Kerry so sorry to hear your news,I am not a medic but if the cancer is a second the original Throat cancer it means that it would respond to the same chemotherapy used for Throat cancer which in my case was cisplatin the F5 I think is the one that they use in conjunction with cisplatin the exact name eludes me at minute

sending positive thoughts to you family and look after yourself and your baby.

Oh Kerry so so sorry

Is this a new cancer or a spread of the SCC?

There are drugs and new regimes being licensed all the time so I hope you can both get through this.

Keeping you in my thoughts

Hi Kerry, really sorry to hear your news. My partner had Cisplatin + 5FU as part of his treatment, i've added you as a friend so you can ask me any questions through direct messages if that would help. In the meantime, the Macmillan website has a good page on it: Cisplatin and fluorouracil (5FU). Take care.
