Dear David
thankyou so much for taking so much trouble with your reply.Robin is having external radiotherapy only, to three different places.His left neck area,the right side of his tongue,and the floor of his mouth.Thirty treatments spread over six weeks five days a week.He was back working fulltime three weeks post op but he is not doing so well at the moment.Hyper sensitivity to cold on his facial skin,teeth and scar tissue are making him quite miserable and his jaw is aching badly where the large secodary tumour was removed(6cm*5cm)and making eating painful again.i think my questions are going to be ongoing as they arise so please watch out for my posts as i will be glad for your support.My husband is not that easy to live with at the moment ,but i keep trying to think how i might feel if i was in his position.He always uses the word"we"when talking about hospital visits and doctors appointments ,as we do everything together involving his treatment, but ultimately it is his illness and it is him who is undergoing the operations and the therapy.I look forward to the benefit of your experience in the future
thanks again
