My wife won't kiss me

jimmy747

Hello everyone, I am 64 years old. Excellent health. 1 month ago I was diagnose with tonsil cancer with HPV-16. I have been for 4 weeks on 100% strick diet, no sugar, no processed food and maximum 20 grams a day of carbohydrates. no radiation no chimo. My wife is very supportive. But I notice that when I tried to kiss her (not french kiss) but regular lips to lips kiss she turns her head and give me the cheek. My tonsil is back to normal size, I no longer have the sensation of food stuck in my throat. I feel great but I don't know how to deal with that. I miss being intimate with my wife. Thank you for the guidance and support.

Hummmm. I was hoping I was not the only one thinking this. Maybe I posted in the wrong section. Can someone help? Thank you.

As the patient, sometimes when I was feeling really crummy it was hard for me to respond to my husband, and I know that was hard for him. Opposite situation, but it helped us to just talk about what we were both feeling, physically and emotionally. Sometimes there were issues that we could find work-arounds to. Sometimes one or the other of us just had to be patient. But open communication did really help.

thank you. I go to the beach. Nobody know I have cancer. They treat me normal. Makes me feel good. At home sometimes I feel they think I have covid or something
