Throat Cancer

My mother has just been diagnosied with throat cancer she has a trachiostomy fitted and is fed through her nose she is 77 and we have been told the cancer is activly growing the doctors has still to decide what type of treatment to follow.

My father is 86 and would be unable to care for her if she ever got home. 

Can anyone give me information on where we can find out more about her condition and where can we go to get help and advice.

Thank You

  • Hi there billy ... sorry to hear your mum is going through this at her age , bless her ... she sounds like a trooper and sounds like she's not one for complaining too ... 

    theres two help lines I know of , one on here and other one is Macmillan free helpline to talk to trained nurse ... they care for everyone effected by cancer ... hope you get advice to want ... 

    your not on your own here ... always here for help /feelings and knowing there's so many who go down this road ... big hug Chrisie xx
