My name is Tammy and I am the wife of a newly diagnosed head and neck cancer patient. He has had a biopsy that did not actually reveal the origin of his cancer, but is being treated for at least four tumors in the right side of his head near the tonsil. He is currently undergoing Radiation and Chemotherapy at the same time. He is having a peg put in today as his mouth in week 3 is too sore to swallow or eat. Hubert is 63 and has been a heavy smoker for his entire life. His tumors were too advanced for any surgery. The hard part is that we live in a tiny town in southeast Arkansas where treatment is not a possibility at all. He is having to live in Hot Springs with my parents so that he can get to Little Rock every day for his treatments. He is severely depressed at this time and feels that he is wasting his energy and time even treating this disease. He believes he is going to die from this cancer anyway. Is there any way that I can get him some stories of people who survived this??
Thanks..
