My dad has his first appointment w/ an oncologist on Friday the 7th. I want us to cover as many bases as we can at this appt. All we know right now is...he has oral cancer, it has spread to his lymphnodes (left side of neck), and options for treatment are surgery or radiation and chemo.

What other things should we ask this Dr? We need to know staging of the tumors, and also the results from the last CT scans, but I was hoping maybe you could tell me somethings we might not think of, since this is currently new to us. And so far the other Doc's don't seem to volunteer a whole lot of info.

Thank you for any help you all can give.
