Hi all, my husband is one week into chemo/radiation for hpv tonsil with lymph node’s. Over the weekend he has been suffering with constipation which has made him grumpy (hardly surprising). He is having his review tomorrow so I will ask then. He has had 2 fybogel today with little effect. He is drinking plenty of water but because he can’t go to the toilet he doesn’t want to eat. Any of you lovely people got any ideas x

Thanks Sue x

  • I'm taking some credit for all the mollycoddling though!!

    Oh give him a hug from me. My first husband had a laryngectomy so I know how you both feel.

  • Oh, thank you Dani and I'll certainly give him a hug from you.

    Aye, it's a tough call being his sole carer in all this, as you'll probably know, but dogged determination is seeing us through and we MOT.  (Leeds supporters!)

    Thank you my lovely xx
