There are many varietys of cancer that can settle in the throat. The best thing you and your husband can do is go through all the tests like biopsys and so on and that will tell you which cancer he has if he has it and then the doctor will tell you what the treatment options are.

I know many people that have survived cancer including myself (mine settled in my stomach and at the moment I am on three years remission) and know many that have died of cancer.

Hang in there
