Hello Alfmont

I'm sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. It's understandable that this may be a difficult time for you both as he waits to start treatment. I hope that you have support from family and friends around you both. 

We have a number of people on this thread who have been through treatment for different oral cancers, such as throat, tongue and tonsil. It's worth reading through some of the shared experiences there and perhaps replying to introduce yourself. Hopefully, you will be able to connect with others who can share their tips and advice for coping with treatment and offer you both some reassurance. 

If it would help to talk with one of our nurses, you're welcome to call them. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040 (excluding bank holidays). 

Keep in touch Alfmont and let us know how things go. We're here for you. 

Best wishes, 
Jenn
