Life immediately after treatment

Hi everyone my other half has just finished radiotherapy for tonsil cancer .last chemo delayed due to bloods not right .

is anyone out there in similar situation ?

just need some advice on what happens now regarding checks recovery etc ?

Although it was trial going everyday to hospital I'm now feeling wobbly about him not being monitored so closely .....

any advice will be very gratefully recieved !

many thanks xx

  • Hi barbieboo1963,

    I'm glad to hear your other half has finished radiotherapy treatment. I certainly understand how you're feeling - it will probably be a little strange for a while without having the regular checks and may take a bit of getting used to.

    I'm unsure exactly what will happen in terms of follow-ups - I would suggest you discuss next steps with your other half's doctor or consultant at the next appointment. Make a note of all the questions you have and then also make notes on what they say or suggest at the appointment. This will hopefully help with some peace of mind and any important information you may need.

    Otherwise, if anyone here has relevant experience to share to help with this then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
