Hello every one .... I and my husband are taking care of my father inlaw , who is suffering from tongue cancer.....he was diagnosed last year in march.. he went through a surgery which was successful but after few months the cancer came back ... and then he had to go through radiation and chemo/cetaxomab treatment... since the cancer was on tongue... they put the peg in for feeds.... now its been 4 months since the last radiation..... and he has not improved much ... infact his pain went up... and they had to put him on hydromorphone every 4 hours .... they did a CT scan on him and it came clear so we are happy but the thing is that the doc are saying that part ( size of a quarter)of his tongue is dead and the doc says that this is a very rare thing so we are wondering if any one else has had anyhting like this? and what did you do about it? any feed back is welcomed...the doc tor says that this will fall of on its own...and we are perplexed about that reply.... he has his next apointment next week so I am trying to get some research done on this... Thank you all for reading this ..
