My husband noticed a lump on his neck earlier this year After a couple of weeks went to gp who said come back if it's still there after another couple of weeks and did bloods. All the usual followed.. Biopsy. A 4 night stay in hospital for scans etc. Had a bronchoscopy as the Ct scan showed something 'concerning' in the lungs too.. Cue worry whike we waited for biopsy results. Lung and throat biopsies were clear but the outer lump on his neck showed markers for cancer... So they booked a pet scan. Got the results a couple of weeks later, cancer in the base of his tongue which has spread to his lymph nodes in his neck and under his ear. He has to have radiotherapy and chemotherapy starting likely after Christmas.. He's strong and fit and healthy and so positive (always is!!) and I'm absolutely petrified.. I've not been to any of his appointments with him as we have 2 young kids and no family close by to look after them. The radiotherapy doctor said the treatment is going to be awful. It's going to be a rough rough few months, we have a 9 and a 10 year old, our 10year old son is such an anxious kid who worries about little things so much so my fear about telling them is making me so anxious too. I'm hoping to get to the hospital with my husband one of his appointment dates to speak to the support team there for advice on how to tell the kids etc. Anyone have any advice on explaining to kids? Thanks in advance x
