Hi everybody, I happened to come across your chat site when looking for information to pass to my 80 year old Dad who has been diagnosed with throat cancer. He has been told he will be having radiotherapy. Waiting for his appointment to start the journey. He has no symptoms, just by chance they found he had cancer. Any word of wisdom would help x
