Possible re occurrence of tongue cancer

My husband underwent radiotherapy & chemo last summer for toungue cancer. He coped with & recovered from the treatment very well. Whilst early scans looked promising, the most recent suggests the cancer is back/ hasn’t been cured, and very recent symptoms of sore throat etc are now making us believe this might be the case.

He has been told that if biopsies confirm this he will face a glossectomy or worse!

We are trying to remain positive until the results, but are both terrified and praying for a miracle.

We were hoping there is someone out there who has been through this and can provide some ‘positive’ feedback please.

 

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat community Fif although I'm sorry to see that your husband's cancer may be back.

    I'm sure some of members who have been in this position will share their advice and experiences with you soon but do feel free to use the 'search forum' option in the blue bar above to join in on any discussions you find about this as well.

    No doubt this wait will be an anxious one but we're here for you and will have our fingers crossed the cancer hasn't returned.

    Kind regards,
