Hello everyone my name is Anne70 and I'm new to the group
My husband had a Laragyctomy a year ago due to cancer a few months ago he was diagnosed with stage 4 tongue cancer .
Hi Anne sorry you’ve found yourself on the cancer merry go round with your husband once again. If you can give us a bit more info on his diagnosis we can help. Has a treatment plan been mentioned tongue cancer can be at front side or base if tongue. Has hpv virus been mentioned.

My husbands isn't virul , he had 4 1/2 weeks of intensive radiotherapy and was admitted to hospital due to 3 major bleeds which was due to his tumor bleeding , we nearly lost him last weekend , his cancer is at the base of his tongue , they managed to control it with medication and he hasn't had a bleed for 5 days since the medication was stopped , the oncologist is going to do a course of immunotherapy
Thanks Anne for replying . Hope immunotherapy gives you both some quality time. I’ve a friend whose recently completed 2 years of immunotherapy his had spread to lung mets from tonsils and recent scans are showing the tumours are stable and reduced in size.

So sorry Anne70 that this has come to be. You might find some extra support talking to other people caring for loved ones who have incurable cancer. We have a section Here for carers in general and Here for others caring for people with incurable cancer. I hope the immunotherapy buys you both some time. It can work really well for some of us. Hugs
