Tongue & Lymph node cancer

My husband is 7 days post 30 sessions radiotherapy what can we expect now. His skin is healing on neck after being badly burnt.

Any advice welcome we are not due to visit hospital now for at least 6 weeks.

Hrs not eating living on meal shakes when I can get them down him!

Hi JaneRider,

I hope you are getting on OK - it sounds like a lot to deal with. I can see you have had a reply from Moderator Jenn recently. My reply here will boost your post, meaning a few more people should see it - so hopefully you'll get some more replies soon.

Do give your husband's doctor a call if you need any advice or if you have any questions prior to the next appointment.

You are also welcome to call our nurses if you'd like to talk things through. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

Wishing you all the best,

Ben

Well I've got him up to 5 shakes so not ideal but progress with a promise he'll do more.
