Hello

Thank You for the response. My mother does'nt smoke or even drink an alcohol or hx in the family that's why im so curious why does she had this kind of disease. her feeding tube irritates her (esophagus?) at left side of her neck. im worried!is this normal because of her feeding tube? and i want to ask also about the chemo at radiotherapy. she is so worried about the hair loss and lost of appetite and N/V. do u think she can overcome this all?

-AUG '12 Punch biopsy revealed ( SCC, Well differentiated)
-surgery done AUG 20,12 removal of 1/3 of her tongue and lymphadenectomy w/ NGT T2N1M0
