Hi everyone,

Thought I'd come on here to update on how my husband is doing.

We are 7 weeks post op for hpv16 cancer in lymph nodes, tonsil and base of tongue.

He is doing well although still finding shoulder and ear painful from operation.

We met with the oncologist consultant this afternoon and we talked about  radiotherapy treatment starting in the next few weeks. He also said that hubby may not need chemo as the % of difference it makes is very small.

Consultant said about having a PEG fitted - Stuart was not too keen on this idea and said he'd rather wait to see if he needs it!! Would you recommend him having it as its already there to use if needed??

I feel positive after appointment but also worried that he is doing so well and now he's got to go through this treatment that could knock him back! 

Thank you for listening,

Paula x
