hi I dont know if you remember me have not been on this site for awhile. My partner had cancer of the jaw. It is now just over twelve mths since his operation and in july will be a year since radio and chemo. He is back 'eating' since December the peg came out last November. Unfortunately he has been in bad pain since January with back pain. It has gone on to this point now where the X rays are causing concern . The doctor has recommended a scan which is next week. He has said it is more than likely cancer. He is very very upset and in alot of pain ( they think a piece of his rib is missing) He is being very brave through all this and is keeping it inside but obviously lets it go now and again. I am going to try and suggest this site to him again, as I have site for spouses which helps but he is not getting any. I am there for him but feel so useless. I feel silly for writing this I think really what I am looking for is what is out there for cancer patients to help him so when he asks for it . I really would appreciate any suggestions I am being as positive as I can to him telling wait until the scan. I know how easier said than done that is but dont know what else to say. i am just trying to comfort him . Sorry I am rambling now | |||

No can understand, my wife just had all the test and it was found she has a tumor attached or in jaw bone. Her ENT and ocogolist told her all the things that can be done. But she is still not willing to have anything done, she is scared. It is not a nice feeling to know she has to go through hell. See I had my voice box removed in 2004 so she knows what I went through. Dam it I love her and want her to at least fight. | ||||

Hello Drew It is difficult for both patients and carers. Ask your partner to join the online support group. He will find us friendly and helpful. And it is okay to ramble!
