Day 15 RT

Hi welcome to our small friendly community group that none of us wanted to join. We’re always happy to help no questions too silly ask. I’m 7 years post chemo radiotherapy tonsil cancer. Am living a great life now. Hugs

Thanks for listening

Hi again Rara2 

Thanks for your update. 
That’s another week done so your husband must be half way through. 
A day at a time. Hugs 

Hi Rara

Hubby still eating after day 15 is good going...hopefully he will be able to keep eating during the rest of his treatment...makes a huge difference to recovery...keep the forum updated with your hubby's progress.

Take care

Hi Rara2, seems like things are going pretty well.. your husband is entering the nitty gritty stages now though, so don't be afraid to use the PEG for overnight feeds if things get tough, and just continue drinking if possible... take the meds by the clock and keep on top of the laxatives, he will not want constipation on top of everything else.. 

Thanks for this update Rara2 and well done to your husband in getting this far, he will start to feel the side effects kick in a bit more so its good to hear his pain meds have been increased. He could ask for food supplements if the swallowing becomes difficult as they will help him to maintain weight. It must be a big help having your family with or near to you as it will help take your mind of the treatment. Wishing you all the best for the remaing treatment and recovery, take care.

Almost half way as he has 33 treatments total. 3 full weeks and then home to recover.

Thank you for your encouraging words.  It really helps!!

No PEG.  I am from the US, PEGS are not offered immediately.  I know all of you here say they are life savers.  I will keep you all informed.  Thanks for the support!

Thanks for your support!  Family is getting us through!
