Hi, am dealing with Mom who had a possible stroke. She had not been a "candidate" as blood pressure has never been an issue for her but I am aware that age is a huge risk factor. Mom had a respiratory attack 48 hours ago and now lies in bed comatose/unresponsive and dependent on respirator. Three days prior to that she presented with altered, dream-state "confused" appearance. There aren't many medical facts available about stroke and oral cancer and I really value y'alls stories as more credible than these online data,so please offer your insight...thanks :-( Trish
