My husband is 8 week post treatment for tonsil cancer. He had 6 weeks radiotherapy and 2 bouts of chemotherapy.
He has a feeding peg where all medication is going through and a 1000 calorie night feed.
He has lost nearly 3 stone and is very weak and fragile. He has been sick again for the last 2 days with several loose stalls.
He has a low in mood again and incredibly emotional. He just doesn’t know what to do with himself as he’s not eating because of the sickness and I am worried sick constantly about him.
Has anyone had similar effects with Tonsil cancer.
