Thank you so much for your support. I have no words to thank you. I feel so much better. In the beginning I was so shocked and worried because I did not know what was going on, the first doctor that saw him in Ecuador said they could not operate him there. We got my dad an appointment in Memorial Sloan-Kettering yesterday. They reviewed his slides and MRI so they found the tumor is localized and has not spread. He is in stage 2. His surgery is scheduled for 8/11/10. He will have a partial glossectomy and neck dissection. I am still worried and will always be alert but now I am calmed and have hope.
Thank you.
