Get him to a cancer center for a second opinion right away. If I were in your shoes, I would never give up. I do not pay attention to the odds. You either make it or you dont. Chemo alone will not cure this cancer, it is used for pallitive care. I will post a list of cancer centers, dont let location choose his fate. http://oralcancerfoundation.org/resources/index.htm#centers
