My husband was just diagnosed with stage 4 mouth cancer. They say surgury is not an option,as the roots are too far into muscles and bones of face. We are tring to get him insurance now, as he has to have 20 teeth taken out before they start treatment. He will have 7 weeks of radiation and chemo 5 days a week. We were told he has 40-50% chance. Those numbers don't sound good, has anyone been in this situation? Both of us are scared to death...we also have 2 children, the oldest knows some but the little is too young. How can we handle it when he does start treatment, they will ask all kinds of questions. Ok enough I'm just going on and on, that you for any advice and for your forum.
