Ive seen many members come thru who have no known cause. Im sure it must be very frustrating not knowing what made him get sick. I am one to focus more on healing and getting better than the why. Too many variables make it next to impossible to know what caused it. Has he been tested for HPV? That is a major cause of most base of tongue or throat cancers.
