Husband newly diagnosed with tonsil cancer

Hi  

My husband is soon to start his chemo and radiotherapy for tonsil cancer, any advice on the practicalities such as suitable electric razors that an almost lifelong wet shaver would like! Foil or rotating head - which is the most comfortable?

Many thanks

  • Hi , my husband was diagnosed with t4 n2 m0 tonsil cancer  28th september 2018 ....what a total shocker!... its certainly turned our lives upside down .. treatment has been 2x 5days of induction chemotherepy cistplatin & 5fu followed by a one off 20% stronger cistplatin chemo at the start of the 30 days radiotherapy & a further cistplatin last week , its such a very harsh treatment regime.... I was lucky I found Emma "newlymarried" on here & shes been a font of knowledge & support to me ,&  if i can be of help to you or anyone else Ill try answer anything you need to know ... as for electric shaver ,  I'm so glad I hung back from buying one !... as since hubby started radiotherapy he hasnt grown so much as a whisker ! & we only have 4 more fractions left ! ...roll on the 18th of january we are trully shattered & ready to sleep for britain!  & even though we realise we have a crazy long road ahead of us at least the daily 2 hour journey to radiotherapy will be over with! & hopefully we will get good news after this is over .. good luck to your hubby & you  j4 ... xx
