Hello, All. My name is Amy. Im new to the forum, but extremely grateful to have stumbled across it. I live North of Houston where my uncle (67 yr old smoker) receiving treatment at MDA. Forgive the lack of terminology, but sadly up until last night he has chosen to suffer alone and keep as private as possible, therefore the details are these: recently diagnosed with oral, lung and kidney cancer. Underwent 18 hrs of oral surgery 1/31/12. Numerous teeth, part of tounge and part of esophagus removed. Still has feeding tube Just finished 3/16+weeks of radiation. In addition, he started Chemo yesterday- 3/19/12.
He is asking for help! I know MDA has resources but for some reason think I'm going to find who he needs here. Can anyone direct me to someone who has been through the same or similiar situtation? Any help is kindly appreciated.
