My brother had a large tumour taken of his neck in June.  He then underwent radiation therapy a month later.  Although he felt ill and lost his appetite and ended up in hospital dehydrated we thought it was just a symptom of the radium therapy.  He has now been told that the tumour is back and another has formed in his throat - they have given him a few months at most - is there anything else that can be done for him.  He is 50 years old
Greetings. It seems a cancer originating from the throat. At this stage a CT or MRI scan is required to know the extent of tumor and whether any surgery can be planned or not. If surgery cannot be done then palliative chemotherapy is the only option and average survival with chemotherapy will be less than a year. Hope that solves your query. Regards
