Hello everyone,
Seems like the last messages on this type of cancer are from 2007. How are your recoveries going?
My husband has cancer in the left tonsil, stage two. He just finished 6 weeks of radiation and 3 rounds of chemo with cicplatin. Last dose of both was two days ago. Doctors said radiation is aimed only at the left side, so his salivary glands on the right will be saved. Right now his mouth is in bad shape. Radiation oncologist said "looks like a hand granade went off in there". He's very bothered by the thick saliva. He has a PEG tube that's used for all feeding and most hydration. He does sip on water throughout the day.
I like to know what to expect in the weeks and months to come. How soon after last treatment did you go back to work? Any advice would be great!
