AW, welcome! You are NOT disturbing any of the wonderful members here with your post. OCF is for everyone that is in the fight weather its the caregiver or the patient.

I am so sorry to read about your brother! It must be so hard on you to watch him refuse to get proper care. There have been several members without insurance that have been successfully treated. But it is ultimately the patients choice.

Dying from oral cancer is not easy. The patient usually suffers for a long time which in many times hospice steps in to help. I wish your brother could change his mind and seek treatment. The only things that will eliminate oral cancer are proven medical procedures like surgery, radiation with or without chemo. Nothing else will do it as you see with what your brother has already attempted.

I wish I had some wisdom to help you both with this. Best wishes with everything!
