Scottp,

Welcome to this site -- I'm sorry you needed to look for it, but glad you found it early in your father's path down this road. There is a wealth of information beyond the OCF forum itself -- if you go to the homepage and scan through the various subjects you can find there, you'll see what I mean.

When you get more detail about biopsy results, you may well have more questions. Feel free to post here with any concerns you have and you'll probably hear from people who have been through it before. If your father hasn't yet been to a major cancer center, I would urge him to be seen by a head and neck cancer team at one of them (you can find a list under Other Resources if you go through the homepage here). This disease is best dealt with by doctors who treat it on a regular basis.
