Hi jenbob,
I know exactly how you feel! I’ve just gone through larynx cancer with my husband.
All I can say is until you know a plan just try to get on with ‘normal’.
I’m sorry you’re going through this.
Just take one day at a time xx
Hi walkkt
Thanks for getting in touch I agree we have to try and get on with being normal as best we can until we have a treatment plan.
How is your husband now ? And how are you coping with it all
Best wishes for the future

Hi Lisa
Thank you for taking the time to write I hope your daughter is recovering well and you as her mother is also taking care of yourself as it does take it's toll on the people who are carers .
It's stories like yours that make a difference and if you and your daughter have continued positive news I'm positive my husband and I will come through this awful disease the other side of a very long road ahead
Just got to wait now until next Thursday to see what treatment plan he will have then the fight will begin
Take care

Hi Jenny,
Thanks for asking after him.
He’s doing ok thank you. He had 6 1/2 weeks of RT. It wasn’t always easy with some side effects but we got through it.
I had good and bad days. For me if felt worse when I was around ‘the team’ - it made it real and I guess I didn’t want it o be real.
From my experience if he has RT I can give you a few tips if you’d like?
You can do this!! Stay positive and strong.
Xx
Hi jenny
My daughter was amazing throughout and continues to be
Please look after yourself as well as your husband.
My daughter had laser treatment follwed with speach therapy and has 6wkly camera checks,
My thoughts are with you, please keep me updated and if you want to chat about your feelings give me a message xxx
Hiya
Thanks for your reply I'm glad you and your husband are ok.
I will keep you updated with Thursday's outcome as to that treatment he will have and if he does have radiotherapy I will definitely be in touch about any advice you can give me

Hello
Thanks for you reply it's comments like yours that give me hope that we will get through this and I'm glad your daughter is doing well . I'm hoping my husband will have laser surgery too but we will find out for sure on Thursday.
It's hard to look after ourselves in these situations but we must take time out because if we don't and we burn ourselves out we will be no good to anyone
I will definitely keep in touch to update on my husband and I would also like to know how you and our daughter are
