Best humidifier during radiotherapy?

Hello everyone

my Dad has recently been diagnosed with a  cancer of the larynx and will start a 4-6 week course of daily radiotherapy in just over a week’s time. I came across your forum and have found it both helpful and inspiring and have been really encouraged by your journeys

I’m sure I will have more to post in time, but as a first question , I wonder if anyone had any recommendations as to the best humidifier to buy to ease the side effects of treatment? I’ve seen them referred to lots and my mom would like to buy one for my dad. If you have any that you’ve found particularly helpful, I’d love to hear about them!

bye for now,

sarah

  • Hello Sarah
    I'm sorry to hear that your Dad has recently been diagnosed with cancer. It's lovely that you want to help him be as prepared as he can be ahead of his treatment. 

    You can find lots of references to humidifiers using the search function on the forum but I'm going to start by tagging in Hazel (aka [@RadioactiveRaz]‍ ) as I'm fairly sure that she used one during her treatment. I seem to remember her saying she found it invaluable. 
    You might also want to have a read through some of the posts on this thread here. There are a lot of comments but hopefully you'll find it useful and be able to connect with others who have been in a similar position to your Dad. 

    I hope that Dad's treatment goes smoothly. Do keep in touch and let us know how he gets on. 

    Best wishes,

    thank you so much for your kind reply and for putting me in touch with Hazel (aka radioactive raz!). I have now followed this particular thread and have already found it so helpful. It’s just so good to read similar stories and to hear about their challenges but also the happiness at the end too. Very encouraging :-)

    thanks again,
