  • As I was reading through the forum I noticed that this is the first time you're posting here, Mojotute, so I wanted to stop by to say hello and welcome you to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear that cancer is back for your family member and that her prognosis is rather poor. We do have others here who have been through a similar situation with their loved ones so I hope you'll soon hear from them, as chatting with those who can relate does seem to help.

    In the meantime, I wanted to share with you a page from our website that addresses stage 4 throat cancer and hopefully that can help a bit. Also, if you feel like speaking to one of our nurses please feel free to give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Wishing you and your partner all the best,

    Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
