Pamela, take a look at the blinking envelope next to the "My Stuff" tab. Click on the envelope, I sent you a message with help on the forum and for making a signature.

Most patients get 30 - 35 rad treatments, very few get over 35 but Ive seen it done. Its really a case by case basis. There are so many factors contributing into the treatment plan that was proposed to you and your husband. It depends on exactly where the tumor is, how large and if it has spread to name a few of the variables. Im sure the patients overall health play a part in the mix too.

Hopefully your husband is being treated at a major cancer center where they are very familiar with oral cancer patients. At the countrys top cancer centers they use team based approach where the whole team will consult on individual cases before a treatment plan is put in place. If he is not at a cancer center, please consider going to one at least for a second opinion. It really does make a difference.

Stick with us and we will help you both get thru this.
