My husband's vocal cord cancer recurrence

Sorry to read this Cecilia, and I feel for you, but it's difficult to comment without a little more detail on your husband's history; exactly what treatment has he had and what is he having now?

Hi Mike, 

My husband is a laryngectomy as he did the surgery two years ago after going through all the radiotherapy and Chemotherapy. But recently, found that the cancer coming back again and spreading to make his face has a bit swelling. So the doctor suggests to go for Chemotherapy  as no surgery can be done this time as he is already a neck breather. And the Chemotherapy this time only can try to cease the speed of spreading but not cure. 

Cecilia, so sad to hear what is happening. I just want to send love to you in the difficult circumstances. I hope you can find support as you will need it as you support your husband and son. Cathyxx 

Feel for you and him, and your son, Cecilia. I've been down the same path as in radio/chemo followed (nearly six years later) by laryngectomy; but I've not had to cope with it coming back so I really don't know much about what options are available, sorry I can't be more helpful. In fact, having been on here for nearly nine years now, I can't recall anyone being in the same place.

If you need to talk to someone give Macmillan a ring on 0808 808 0000, brilliant people on the end of the phone.

Thanks for your support, Cathy. 

No worry Mike. Thanks for sharing your own experience. Really appreciate by providing all necessary helpful tips though. 

Cecilia. So sorry you are both having to deal with this. I don’t know where your husband is being treated but it’s always worth looking for a second opinion. You have nothing to lose.
