Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 | Terri, unfortunately the only cures for oral cancer of any type are surgery, radiation with or without chemo. These are the tried and true things that will get rid of the cancer. While these are not easy treatments, they are proven to be successful. Please use the utmost caution when considering anything besides surgery, radiation with or without chemo. If your husband is not being treated at a large cancer center, I would suggest you get to one ASAP to give him the very best chance. Of course a healthy diet is best for everyone. On the internet you will find a million claims for all kinds of things to help cure cancer. These are just that CLAIMS. So many people are scared and willing to try anything to help cure their cancer. NCI Cancer Centers National Comprehensive Cancer Network US News Top Cancer Hospitals
