Laryngeal cancer

Hi, my hubby is just about to start on his 5th week of radiotherapy treatment on his larynx. He has 7 weeks of treatment so over half way done. He also has to have chemotherapy 3 times, he’s had 2 up to now. My question is, will he be having the 3rd dose (at the start of his 7th week) as a few people have told him this probably won’t be necessary. 

  • Hi Pam and welcome to the forum.

    I'm glad to hear your husband is over half way through his treatment for laryngeal cancer. I hope it's been going ok and that he hasn't had too many side effects to contend with. 

    Your husband's medical team will be able to answer your question so do make sure you discuss this with them to get clarification on whether your husband will be having the 3rd dose of chemotherapy. If you would like a general chat with someone do give our cancer nurses a call next week. Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
