What could I do to help them 

  • Hello Kai-

    I'm sorry to hear that your partner has recently been diagnosed with mouth cancer. Undoubtedly this will have been difficult news for you both to hear but it's good that this has been diagnosed at an early stage and hopefully over the coming months there will be more good news. 

    We have some information about mouth cancer on our website that may be helpful for you as well as information written for family, friends and carers. This particular thread has many members who have been through treatment for different head and neck cancers and you may find some of the information shared there helpful depending on what treatment has been recommended to your partner. 

    If you want to talk with one of our nurses at any point you're welcome to give them a call. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch over the coming weeks and months Kai-, let us know how you're both doing. We're here to listen and offer any help and support we can. 

    Best wishes,
