Welcome to Cancer Chat. You have come to the right place to talk to others who have been diagnosed with throat cancer as we have quite a few members on our forum who have had a similar diagnosis in the past. It's good news though that your dad's cancer is stage 1 and I hope that the radium treatment will be a success. We have information on our website on throat cancer which you can find on this page.
I thought I would mention a couple of names which spring to my mind of members of this forum who have dealt with throat cancer before. [@Anchor1707] would be a great person to talk to and he keeps a great blog about his experience dealing with throat cancer treatment and I am sure he will along soon and give you all the details. [@RadioactiveRaz] had tonsil cancer more specifically and might be another great person for you to be in touch with.
I hope everything goes well for your dad and that he sails through treatment. If you have any questions at any point, our nurses are just a free phone call away so don't hesitate to give them a ring on 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
