Husband diagnosed with tonsil cancer: looking for tips and support

I was diagnosed with same sort of cancer in Feb. Mayo Drs recommended 7 weeks radiation. 35 doses. Mon-fri.
I also had chemo 1 time per week.
1st few weeks are a breeze. It’s been 7 weeks since last treatment. Your husband has to develop a warrior mentality. He can beat this! It’s no fun and it can take a long time to feel good again. People are winning.
For me? Faith in Jesus Christ has strengthened and is my anchor.

Are you finished with your treatments yet? I had Monday through Friday radiation for 35 days and chemo once a week for 5. I just had my follow up PET and it’s showing residual cancer and that it metastasized to my lung. How did yours pan out?

My husband is in his 15th radiation treatment out of 35. Do you have any helpful nutrition ideas for me to try for him? I so appreciate your response and your post. I hope that you are doing well and on your way to complete recovery.
