My name is Tabitha. Last week we found out my 56 year old father has oral cancer (floor of the mouth) and it has spread to his lymphnodes. He is getting CAT scans done today to find out if it has spread to the lungs, stomach, spleen, liver, etc. My grandmother, his mother, was diagnosed when she was 56 w/ breast cancer and lived 7 years before the cancer spread and she eventually lost her battle.

I am glad I found this forum and I am sharing info w/ my family as well as getting a LOT of q's answered.

I want to thank everyone for sharing so that through your experiences I can learn.
