So after 8 years of my husband being cancer free from throat cancer the dreaded c word as reared it's ugly head and may have returned in his osophogus, he had a biopsy last Thursday and pet CT scan on Tuesday so just waiting now for results which doesn't help 

All the same symptoms as before so we've more or less got in our heads it's come back Confused

  • Hi Jen. So sorry to read that. I hope the results are encouraging. Did you husband have CRT to cure the throat cancer?

    Thanks, he had a full laryngectomy removing his voice box, breathes through a stoma in his neck and had 6 weeks radiotherapy, so this is a total shock Disappointed

  • Hi Jen

    So sorry to hear about the potential recurrence. Waiting for the results of the biopsy and CT scan must be really difficult for you both.  I've had 2 more occurrences of jaw cancer since my first one but all in different places so I understand the anxiety you are both going through. Mine were successfully treated each time fortunately.  I've got everything crossed for you both.
