Throat cancer, stage 4 - can anyone offer advice on the treatment I'll be having?

Had operation to remove cancer since found out it's stage 4. Got to go for radiotherapy and chemotherapy and have a peg fitted. 

Any advice please 

  • Hello Bird-man and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear you were diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer, but I'm glad you've had surgery and hope your recovery has been going well.

    I can see you are due to have radiotherapy and chemo, as well as a peg fitted. I hope all goes well with this but if you have any questions, or would just like to talk things through with someone, then do give our cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very knowledgeable and will do all that they can to help.

    I hope you receive some advice from our members soon but in the meantime, we're thinking of you Bird-man and wishing you all the best with the next part of your treatment.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
