Worried

My husband a follow up app for a throat issue, he was told 4 weeks ago, it was acid reflux affecting his throat, gave him tablet and an ant acid, there has been no improvement...today, he saw the Consultant, who said there was something at the back of his tongue he isn't happy about...he then went into say, come for a CT scan and MRI tomorrow, then come on Friday for a pre- surgery check up, what made things worse two Macmillan nurses came in, and started talking through everything ....shocked does not even cover this ...does this mean he has cancer??

  • I'm sorry that something may have been found at the back of your husband's tongue and for the worry this is understandably causing.

    Unfortunately I can't answer the question in your post, but hopefully some of our members who have found themselves in a similar situation to your husband will be along soon to share their experiences and advice.

    I know this must be very scary but try to take things one step at a time and don't jump to any conclusions until you know more.

    We're thinking of you Worrywortme1 and wishing your husband all the best with his pre-surgery check up tomorrow.

    If you have any further questions, or feel it may help to talk things through with someone then our team of cancer nurses are just a phone call away. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040 and they'll do all they can to support you at this time.

    Kind regards,
