Donna, sorry to hear about your husand's ordeal. However, DON'T buy into the inoperable incurable part. I had SCC of tongue, with mets to lymph nodes on left side, had tongue resection and radical neck dissection in Sept to Nov '02. Following February PET/CT uncovered mets to right side. Had another neck dissection/rad to right side in April/May 03. Last PET/CT done in August was clear.

I'd get a second opinion on this incurable/inoperable part. What are they basing this on? Just curious.
Hoping all turns out well for you.
Bob
