Tonsil cancer spread to skull

Hello - just need to ask if anyone has encountered Tonsil and lymph cancer which has all gone after treatment chemo and radio, but sadly we have been told that partner has skull tumour and small nets in lung, we are deviated beyond belief, he has suffered from double vision since wed, and starts chemo on tues, but I am so worried about the future and how quick things can change. I watched my mum suffer in 6 weeks from brain tumour and my dad from prostate and bone ! Never thought it would happen again, my partner. Is bearing up as well as can be, but I am suffering badly with anxiety and worry. Just wanted to hear any stories of hope x
