Hi Everyone,
My husband (47 years old) was recently diagosed with stage 3 throat cancer. He is undergoing radiation along with chemotherapy, with the hope of shrinking the tumors. It has metastasised to the lymph nodes on both sieds of the neck, but according to a recent PET scan, it hasn't moved elsewhere.
It is currently inoperable because of the involvement of the coratiod artery and the other large vessels in the neck.
I guess I am hoping to find a support group that I can lean on when times get tough. Its hard being the spouse of someone who is going thru such a difficult time. He had a PAG tube installed today, because the docs seem to think that in the near future the radiation will begin to make it difficult for him to swallow.
I would love to hear from others who understand what we are experiencing.
