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
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.

Hi Lyn
Thank you for your kind words, it is a worrying time ,we can't believe it may be happening again exactly 8 years and the exact month as the first time round , we were getting on with and enjoying life and then this
Sorry to hear about your recurrences and sounds like your a fighter having cancer 3 times and glad you've been successfully treated ,life's very hard isn't it
Jenny
Oh so sorry to read that. Fingers crossed his PDL1 scores are good. There have been some remarkable results. I’m not sure if Prof Harrington’s trial still running but it’s worth checking out.
