His next scans will be in 2 months. The doctor 2 weeks ago mentioned the lymph nodes cut out. Thats fine. It is the tumour in his mouth [tonsil, jaw, under tongue, soft palate] that we were told was inoperable. At the begining, they said they wouldn't operate because they weren't confident they could get all of the tumour. I stupidly thought they would shrink it with the chemo & rads then reassess it. Being told it is inoperable puts a whole new picture in our heads. Being told 'no plan B' makes it worse. David we were told the lymph nodes held cancerous cells but the tumour was inside his mouth. I serously need to speak with someone, I think it's doing my head in more than Rod's...Im so sad
