Since being diagnosed, my husband has had 3 cycles of chemo, which initially helped with his swallowing and keeping food down. However, he has a really great fear of hospitals and procedures and as a result of this has decided not to have anymore medical intervention. Initially, the plan was to reduce the growth and then remove by surgery, but it was decided he was not 'fit' enough to have operation. I am finding it very hard to cope with with at the moment....... he will not talk about how he feels or will tell me if he's in pain....... He was even too afraid to go to his follow up appt. with oncologist. Anyone else going through this ?
