Thank you everyone. My brother has invasive squamous cell carcinoma. The surgeon removed an egg sized tumor that was located under his tongue and in the floor of his mouth. 18 lymph nodes were removed and one tested positive for cancer. Treatment consists of 35 treatments of radiation and 3 rounds of Cisplatin. He is being treated at Texas Oncology in Waco, Tx. He has been in treatment about 2 weeks and is often discouraged. Doctors don't offer much information and he is not sure what questions to ask. I try to help...even offered to go to doctor visits with him. He refused that because he feels the doctors should answer these questions when he asks them. Unfortunately medical jargon is like a foreign language to him and cannot come back with more questions. Should i insist on going with him? I wish he could go to MD Anderson in Houston. He had no insurance and is continuing to work so far.
