My 88 year old grandad as just been diagnosed with left tonsil cancer spread to the neck.

Hes to old for surgery, chemo and radiotherapy. So the only thing they can offer is a mild radiotherapy and this is to help with symptoms rather than to shrink the tumour or try and cure it.

We went for our 1st appointment last week, to have his mask fitting and CT scan. We go back friday to sign the papers and check everything is still ok to go ahead and start the radio, if things are ok he starts monday.

Hes struggling eating now as swallowing is painful but main problem is he as a constant salt taste in his mouth which is making him feel sicky! Anybody going through similar problems. If so be great to hear ykur stories share tips etc.....
