What happens if the radiotherapy isn’t enough for tonsil can

My husband was diagnosed with tonsil cancer last year and finished his treatment in October. After just recently haveing a scan it shows that there is a slight sign it maybe still there. Has this happened to anyone. We hoped it would be gone. I am very worried it is more serious than we thought. Cutting it out can be an option but worried he won't be able to speak after

 

  • Hi Boothy,

    I'm sorry to read of what you and your husband are going through and I can understand your worries about this. Initially do discuss the situation with your husband's specialist as they will be best placed to advise and also the best person to talk things through with.

    My reply here will boost your post so more people will see it, and if anyone has any similar experience then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    Whatever happens, we're always here for support.

    Wishing you all the best,
