Palate cancer - Willing to share experiences? - 05-29-2002 10:41 AM
Oral Cancer Community --
My mother was recently diagnosed with palate cancer (stage 3-4). The ENT specialist recommended
surgery (removal of hard and soft palate) and radiation.
My mother is trying to decide what action to take; ie, whether or not to pursue treatment. She is
primarily concerned with quality of life issues after treatment (prosthesis, swallowing, speech, etc.).
If anyone in this community would be willing to share their experiences with her, please contact me
at [email protected].
Thanks! Steve
