Again I feel your worry. I am always worried about the cancer spreading also in my mother. I asked the MO once about the possibility of it spreading and was told it usually stays confined to the head to neck area. But I did read about a certain case where it did spread to the lungs . But again we are not doctors. I would certainly report this finding to the MO rite away.

I did read your post about your father going into surgery soon and you were worried about him being able to talk . Well after my mothers partial jaw removal I bought a note pad and pen and she wrote little notes to us. She let us know when she was in pain and wrote little questions asking about her surgery outcome. Also like Christine said someone should be with him at all time. Me and some family members made a schedule and rotated 24 hours a day. He will surely need someone with him.

I know how you must feel because my mother also had a second surgery in 6 months. I want to wish you and your father the very best luck through it all
