Welcome to OCF! Glad you found us, sorry you had to! Treatment protocols generally depend on staging , tumor size, location, metastisis etc... Treatment really depends on the specifics your husband is facing.

The best advice is to get the absolute best medical opinion available to your husband and get a second opinion from a CCC and then follow what makes sense to you. My opinion is there's more to life then throwing a baseball so by whatever means to keep breathing and beat this thing.

Good luck and keep your chin up, you've found the best place for support on Head & Neck Cancer so you've already got a leg up.
