That's the title of this Interesting article from Florida on an Osteopathic doctor whose husband got oral cancer. Here are some excerpts for those who have a dial up connection and the link times out
[quote]Squamous cell head and neck cancer was the stuff of nightmares. I had seen it chew through the face or the neck like a trapped rat. As far as I knew, no one survived.Now I was receiving a crash course in 21st-century head and neck cancer facts. I learned it is almost an epidemic among adults ages 30 to 60. Ed was 42.

The five-year survival rate was up to 60 percent, thanks to aggressive radiation and chemotherapy. (Aggressive means you're pretty sure the treatment is going to kill you before the cancer does.)[/quote]
Dr, Pam 's husbands oral cancer

His recovery is less than optimal after 5 years
[quote]Like many people with head and neck radiation, Ed has had hearing loss and wears hearing aids. He suffers from unrelenting tinnitus (ringing in the ears), dry mouth and dental problems. And then there is the vertigo and claustrophobia (no more working under cars or in tight spaces).[/quote]

The only thing "wrong" with this article is that it does not refer people to OCF, but SPOHNC. But then her husband would just be one of the many many courageous people here.
