Nervous waiting

Well Thursday 3rd may we get biopsy results for hubby. Feeling sick at the thought of what consultant will say I'm anxious as to how soon the treatment will part as he's struggling with swallowing and as a constant earache 

:-(

    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

    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 

    xx
