Husband been diagnosed with nasa pharyngeal cancer.

Hi Louie

I would think so as long as you advise hem at the time of booking. It might be worth asking at Maggies  there is one attached to The Christie in case they do any transport they may have links with other charities that do.  It’s scary if it helps I had lunch yesterday with a guy I met 6  years ago his cancer was nasopharyngeal and he’s as well as I am. We meet up twice a year to keep in touch. 
Keep the big girl pants handy and remember you can rant in here It’s important  you take time out for you as well if it’s only meeting a fiend for coffee  I know as the patient I appreciated when my hubby popped out for a hour some times gave me space as well.

I’m sure you’ll be allowed to accompany your husband. I had a journey that often took two hours each way for my RT. The hospital had accommodation overlooking The Mumbles where patients could stay if they lived too far away. 

Many thanks for this Beesuit. 

Hi Louie. My husband has the same cancer t4n1m0  with skull base inclusions.  He' is stage 3 and we found out after a year of doctors and clinics for headaches and sinus treatment, he has lost his hearing and voice at this stage. Halfway through treatment now  just finished chemo and due to start radiotherapy plus chemo in Feb. Lots of appointments.  Like you I drive but have anxiety about motorways etc. I managed to overcome this being his main carer but found out that his hospital do provide transport. I wish I had asked but good to know that its there if we need it. Its been a challenging journey so far with more to come but if I can help to answer any questions I'm here. Just found out about dentists and mask fitting plus his feeding tube which after 5 months was a shock to me but I'm better doing this day by day. That's how I cope but others like to look forward and plan. So am here. Lynnyloo x

Hi Lynnyloo. Welcome to our small forum. We’re all happy to help with tips. My cancer was tonsil but the radiotherapy treatments and side effects are similar 

we all react differently do what you feel comfortable with with.

Lynny - I am so sorry you are going through all of this. Isn't it nice to be with others who are going through the same sort of stuff. Louie. (my real name is Lindy and I am going to change this with the online organisers. x
