hi your story is amazing,my father 67 has just been diagnosed with oral cancer ,he had a scc removed from lip 12 mnths ago with clear margins,im assuming this is where this new tumour has come from,this new tumours wrapped around his voice box nodes and tongue organs,it is not operable due to too invasive and not good enough chances of getting it all,radiation or chemo on there own will maybe give him 6 mnths to live,so doctors here in australia from the peter macallum cancer institute have giving him the only option possible,which is intensive treatment,5 days a week for 7 weeks.they are giving him a feeding tube in next few days.l guess what im asking is this similar treatment to what you have had,weve been told the treatment will maybe give him 1-3 good years. is it worth looking into other cancer clinics for other/better or where more advanced treatment is available..can i ask what symptoms you went through during treatment and if you have any hints on how to make my dad stick with the treatment for the whole 7 weeks,we are worried he may back out half way through due to to much pain and discomfort..any help or advise would be very appreciated..
