Our cancer center is a CCC. He is 63 yo. Biopsy proved squamous cell. The plan is to place feeding tube next week. he has an appt with GI on Monday. He has gone from 155 to 139 since April. He has a consult scheduled with oral surgeon on Tuesday for removal of all teeth. Following that mapping for rad therapy to jaw and neck. Due to right heart failure they are not using cisplatin but planning one of two other chemo drugs. The ENT told us at onset of the appt that treatment will be very intense and if it ever is too much he can back out at anytime. He will still require surgery to the jaw and tongue but hopefully would be able to spare the voice box.
