@lynalexa, how distressing that the cancer has returned, I am so sorry that this difficult part of the journey continues.
Sending positive thoughts of strength and support.

Welcome to Connect, @lynalexa. I’m truly sorry to hear about the recurrence; I’m confident that @alpaca, @jeffk, @loli and @rebecca1972 will join in soon to support you with their insights. In the meantime could you share a few more details about your husband? When was he diagnosed? Moving forward, what are his treatment options?
I sincerely wish you and your husband all success, and hope to hear from you soon.

My husband will start radiation and chemotherapy tomorrow for cancer that began at the base of his tongue and spread to lymph nodes on both sides. He had a hard time with the mask at the CT simulation.
How is your husband now? How are you?
