My father was diagnosed with Stage III squamous cell on the tongue, and the throat and has gone into one lymph node. He has been in treatment(chemo and radiation) since August. It has been really hard watching him go through this. He only weighed about 145 lbs to start with now he weighs 124 lbs. He constantly has sores in his mouth and complains of not being able to taste. Does anyone know if his taste will return after treatments? A few weeks ago it looked to me like my father was dying right before my eyes it was devestating, he was dehydrated, tired, weak. So i called his doctors and they stopped treatment for 2 weeks he has since started treatment agian. Anyone that can give me any insight on this matter i would love to hear from you. Im hoping to see light at the end of this tunnel. By the way my father is 51
