Hi Else

I had the same operation 10 years ago for metastatic skin SCC in one parotid gland. The radiotherapy was very tough to get through and left me exhausted for months. The doctor said it should not have this effect once a few months have passed. Had thyroid checked in case of damage from treatment but all OK. It did get a bit better after a couple of years but I've never regained my previous energy levels and like your husband often fell asleep after work. Could be down to getting older but he should see GP for a check up.

Hi thank you for this I’ll get him to go to the doctors for a check up this week. We have got an appt to get the recent scan results at the end of this month so I’ll mention it to the dr and our cancer nurse then. Thank you again.
