Hi, My partner has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 throat cancer. What we know so far is that his teeth need to be removed and then chemo combined with radiotherapy. 

We had a meeting with hs surgeon and mcmillan nurse a fortnight ago but the still had to biopsy a further lump before a final plan/prognosis could be given. We have the next meeting in a few days and I would appreciate any advice as to what questions to ask. Last time I was so shocked i couldn't really focus, and a few hours later wanted to ask so many questons but it was too late.

We want blunt truthful information but feel if we don't ask the right questions we won't be told. We only found out it was Stage 4 because i asked. They weren't going to offer the info.

I know my mind will go blank this time again, and my partner is relying on me to ask the right questions. Any advice appreciated, thank you
