If you would go visit do you think you could face to face convince him to go to the hospital? One symptom of oral cancer is an ear ache. Im sure you have done your best. I wish he would see that his family loves him so much they dont want to see him hurting. I dont have any info to help you, only to take him to a cancer center. Only there will they be able to tell if he has cancer and to attempt to heal him. At this point, hospice might be the only avenue there is. I guess you cant force medical care upon someone. I wish you all the best with your father.
