Hello @michelleandrupert,
Welcome! I am sure you wish to not be a part of a group of people diagnosed with head and neck cancers. However, we are all in this together. Your husband is fortunate to have you as his advocate. My cancer was diagnosed in 2018 in the throat by the vocal cords. After 35 radiation sessions, I lost the ability to talk, eat and drink. On the bright side, after having speech therapy (exercise of throat muscles) it all came back very slowly. If it were not for the treatment, I would be long dead. I utilized a red-light wand every single day before the radiation treatments. Whether it helped, is anyone's guess. Keep laughing, loving and living. Like everything in this life, it is just a passing happening. Your faith will see you through.
