Tonsil cancer. A positive day!

Hazel,

Wow thanks for the link to the video, that's fascinating, your blog is also extremely helpful. Will definitely tell him about the eye holes, we wouldn't have even known it was an option.

All the best x 

Thanks Dani, 

It really was a tough time last week, but the difference in him after a few days in hospital is remarkable.

Brilliant advise on the mask thankyou I'll pass it on to him. The next step it going to be tough but like you say its doable. Thanks for the great advice once again, all a massive help. I'm.sure I'll be back for more advice once treatment has started.

All the best x

Hi cheers. Sometimes if the tumours are in the nasal area they won’t cut eyes in but ask as tonsil area should be ok mine was tonsil and lymph nodes. Thank you re blog it was my way of retaining some control.

Oh interesting, it's definitely worth asking if it will help him feel less claustrophobic. I imagine writing your blog really helped and gave you something else to focus on. My husband is finding it helpfull with all that I'm learning from you guys but wants to stay away from looking into it himself at the minute, he's leaving it to me. Its helped us understand the process everything he has to face going forward. Your all amazing x 

Hi no we’re not we just had to do it ! He will get there. Many guys don’t come in here but their wife’s do. Saying that we do have our regular guys. 
Any questions just ask.  Tell them about the claustrophobic feelings they more info the radiotherapy teams have the more they can help. As my blog says I took my own music in plus my head went on bike rides and walks to pass the time.

Like Hazel says we aren’t amazing. We had no choice. What I do find amazing is how so many people rather than leaving their cancers behind stay to hold others’  hands. This  community is really something to celebrate. And Macmillan has lots of various professional resources to help too. 

Hey, yes you all had to do it but you go out your way to help people like myself, you take time out of your day to give advise, no matter how big or small you've help many people.

All the best x 

Oh bless we do it to help others. Our cancers are little known so we help each other xx
