Thank you all for your responses.... but I am telling you what the doctors have told us ... and that is part of his tongue is dead ( necrosis of tongue).
he is being looked after by a team of doctors.after I posted here we called his oncologist( the one dealing with surgery) and aske dhim his plan going forward... and it seems they have no specific plan but wait and see....
@ Christine .... you are right I do sound as if I have written one long sentence.... but i guess that would tell you my state of mind and heart.... I guess I am also excited that there are people out there who care enough to answer you.... thank you...
he is on iso source 1.5 .. which mean he is getting 2250 calories daily and 1.4 liters of water.
I'd have to check for specific gm of protein... I will call the nutritionist tomorrow and ask her for more details...
My understanding of getting a second opinion is that we 'd have to ask the doc to give us his medical record.. and we are afraid of offending the team ....like what if they are right n we'd have to come back to them and what if they don't take care of him properly... do you get what I am saying .... I am Canadian :)how should I aproach this ?
