Hi Caroline,
The nurses won't be back until Monday and it may take them a while to catch up with the weekend's posts. I suggest your husband contacts his cancer nurse, either on the Emergency number he should have been given or on Monday morning. Meanwhile, I don't know if this previous thread will help you cancerchat.cancerresearchuk.org/.../chickenpox-and-radiotherapy
I hope you get to see your granddaughter and have a lovely family Christmas.
