My son (27) is being examined for Oral cancer within the next 2 or 3 days. Possible stage 1/2 adjacent to tonsil.
I've read as much as I can of treatment and statistics on web (very depressing). I am consumed with fear and hope I can support him through this experience mentally and with sound medical decisions.
He seems to be taking this better than his mother and I. I'm encougaged by all your messages of survival and optimism.
I welcome any advise you can offer as we begin this ordeal, questions to ask, best current treatment options, recommend websites.

I moved your thread to it's own topic so it wouldn't get buried in Rosiepants thread. Welcome to the forum.
