After Radiotherapy

Hi, my husband was diagnosed with HPV tonsil cancer in July and finished his course of radiotherapy and chemo in November. We have just been for a check up after his pet scan and although it has reduced they are uncertain if it has all gone. They don't know if it's scare tissue or if he needs surgery. Has this happened to anyone and what surgery have u had. I am scared for him but trying to stay positive. We don't go back for another 6 weeks to test it and the wait is hard. 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Boothy although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.

    It's great that the treatment has reduced your husband's cancer although I can understand your concern when they can't confirm if they got it all.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in this position will get back to you soon but do be sure to use the 'search forum' option in the blue bar above to connect with others on this journey as well.

    As you say, the next 6 weeks will be tough but our community are here for you and will do all that they can to support you during this time.

    Kind regards,
