Welcome to OCF, Gianna. You have found the best place for info on oral cancer. This forum is full of insight from patients and their caregivers. We even have a couple medical professionals around here from time to time. Make use of the search function on both the forum and also the main OCF pages.

You have been given good advice by everyone. Especially Gabe who said to make sure you understand what they are telling you. Remember the doc works for you! Is your husband being seen at a cancer center? Are they familiar with these types of cancer? How many do they see per month/per year? These are some good questions to ask on your appointment. Some people tape record their doctor sessions. Thats a very good idea cuz most of us tend to go a little numb when talking about cancer. Its also a very good idea for you to accompany your husband to all of his doctor visits. Men tend to clam up and then complain to their wives instead of their doctors.

If you have questions just ask, we are here to help you. Best wishes with your husbands upcoming appointment.
