Teresa,

I feel badly that I can't help you. Does he just shut down when you try to get information from him or does he get angry? I'm trying to figure out why he won't let you understand more about what his doctors are telling him.

RX is generally used here to indicate prescription.
RT is the abbreviation for Radiation Treatment.

People treated for oral cancer don't generally get a one-day blast as proper treatment requires significant planning. To learn more about that process, you can review this page from the OCF:

Perhaps you could use the information gleaned from this article to ask more specific questions of Brian?

Here's a site about someone who got cancer from dipping:

This is from a couple whose husband did not win the battle...Rich's plea is about getting people to stop smoking. If he was here, I'm sure Rich would want Jeff to stop dipping.

Please take a moment to understand how terrible, serious and deadly this cancer is. I wish you luck, courage and strength for you to help Brian.
