Hi there. Our dad was diagnosed with tonsil cancer in March 2023. He had the cancer removed along with a neck dissection as it was in a lymph node in his neck, and then 30 sessions of radiotherapy after his surgeries as a belt and braces approach. Happy to say he received the all clear in January 2024 at his first scan post treatment and has been well ever since. He still struggles a little with swallowing because of the surgery to his throat, but he manages and aside from that has no other long term affects. It’s a scary time but there is life at the other side, my Dad is living proof of that. He was 64 at the time of diagnosis so a similar age to your husband. I hope you’re both doing as well as can be, feel free to reach out if you have any questions x

Thank you for replying, it is nice to hear your dad is now free from cancer and it's reassuring that you can come out on the other side 

My husband can't have surgery as the tumour is too close to his windpipe and they would have to take his voicebox out, so instead he is having 35 sessions of radiotherapy and 7 chemotherapy sessions. It seems like a long journey and it hasn't begun yet 

My best wishes to you and your dad
