hi....i just lost my father to oral cancer. he was only 51 years old. it was very difficult to watch him go through this. he went through radiation, chemo, and surgery...there were times he would have to take pills that he couldn't swallow....and at the end, he could only talk out of the side of his mouth. when i saw how big the tumor was, i was shocked. my mom had called me and told me he was talking to people that only he could see. it still didn't hit me....even after i saw him, i just couldn't see him dying. i miss him...i never thought i would see a day like this, without him....he has a granddaughter, whom he loved very much. he will always love her.....
