Hi Jenkensmom - Welcome to the best place to be for all the latest information and and compassionate help from people who've been where you are. My son had SCC (squamous cell cancer) under his tongue, had surgery followed by radiation only and doing terrific almost 6 years later. We didn't find OCF until he had already started radiation so it's good you found this forum early in your husband's treatment. I'm sure others will be along whose experience more closely resembles that of your husband and can relate to his experience.
