Hi. I'm not sure if i should post here or on the caregiver board. Just got back from the ENT with my husband. He was told he has tongue cancer with node involvement. I was surprised he could tell this before the PET and MRI (we go next week) but I guess he does it from look.
The guy freaked me out. He was literally doing deep breathing exercises and seemed rattled while talking to my husband. first time we met this guy so I can't tell if he was giving my husband a "death sentence" or just wasn't used to telling folks they have cancer.
This may sound like a stupid question but if it is in the nodes in the neck does that usually mean it has spread elsewhere? He said the nodes weren't bad but he "didn't like" that it was on both sides.
He really made feel awful(along with the news). any help would really be appreciated.
