Husband diagnosed with tonsil cancer: looking for tips and support

I had SCC on the base of my tongue and a couple of lymph nodes in the fall of 2020. I had chemo and proton radiation, since have had multiple cleans scans.
I wrote a blog during my experience (non-revenue generating) if you would like to review it. You can read it at:

What will help his throat until treatment time , we know his tonsil is getting worse, and breathing is harder. He has three more days until treatments.
Did you ever have to have hydration treatment, my husband has to go for three days and he thought he was drinking enough, guess not.
Steve, I just read your entire blog! Out of all the mountains of information I've been consuming since my diagnosis of tonsil cancer 4 weeks ago your blog was the most helpful for me. Thank you and I will use your experience as inspiration to get through my own which will begin soon.

I read your story and your wife’s post, very helpful. You been through a lot, I hope my husband will be as strong as you. It’s harder as he’s older, so hope it goes smoothly. He already says he doesn’t want the feeding tube, we’ll have to see. Thanks.
