A very warm welcome to the forum Dfm, although I'm sorry to hear your husband has been diagnosed with throat cancer.

As you say this must be very scary, especially with everything happening so quickly, but hopefully you will both feel a bit more settled once his treatment gets underway.

I hope some of our members who have been on this journey will share their experiences and advice with you soon but if you would like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to address your questions and concerns.

We're sending you all our strength and support Dfm and wishing your husband all the best with the start of his chemo.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
