Hello CelticWitch

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. Undoubtedly this is a very difficult time for you both especially as you have unanswered questions about your husband's care. 

I'd suggest giving our team of nurses a call to talk things through with them. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. If you'd like to talk with them, they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

You might also want to think about getting in touch with the hospital PALS team. It's part of their role to help resolve concerns or problems when you're using the NHS and it may be that they can help you get answers to some of the questions you have about your husband's treatment. 

I do hope that you can find the support you need to help you both move forward. Keep in touch with us at Cancer Chat if it helps to have somewhere to put down in writing how you're feeling and ask questions. We're here for you. 

Sending you both my best wishes, 
Jenn

I’m so sorry you are going through this. Sometimes 2 lots of radiation can be too hard on the patient, so they will do that only where it will make the most difference (eg they believe it will ease symptoms) however you should be given an answer by the care team so please go back to them so they can explain.
