Hi everyone. I hope all is doing well. My fiancee, Charlie, was diagnosed with stage IV SCC of the Larnyx. He had a horse voice for years and we never thought it could be anyting like this. He is only 30 years old. He only had 2 weeks left of radiation. He has had 2 rounds of chemo and prob. wont do the 3rd because he is so swollen.
He had a peg tube put in, but nothing helps because all he does is throw up mucus. His neck looks like it was burnt by a fire and he is in so much pain. Nothing seems to work.
THe doctor said that the tumor seems to be shrinking, but since the cancer spread- we wont be able to tell for a while.
He is so strong and he said that he wouldnt be if he didnt have me. But thats on the outside- on the inside I am terrified. I just love him so much
