Hello
My dad was diagnosed a few weeks ago with throat cancer. He was told stage 2 and he would have 4 weeks radiotherapy.
Just before treatment they have checked the MRI again and said it is much worse than they thought and is in the parragliotic space. He therefore needs 6 weeks of radiotherapy as well as chemo.
Has anyone been though similar a experience/know someone who has been through this?
