(66 posts)I had throat cancer last year. Chemo and radiation. It's in remission now. It was scary. I lost 15 lbs in less than two months. I needed a G-tube to consume Boost high calorie drinks.
Now my wife has myeloma. Since I had a good outcome we're going to the same oncologist. She also had a bronchoscopy to see if her lung congestion is related (it's not but long-term covid may be the cause of that).
Get your husband to quit also. The smell of smoking will be in his skin and clothes. It'll take almost a year for the smell to go away but it'll always be a subtle reminder that you won't notice. I'm a former smoker also and it took three years of trying before I finally was able to quit.
Good luck with your treatment. Eat healthy and keep physically active.
