Hi friends,
My motherinlaw (age 54, non smoker, resides in India) was diagnosed with Oral Cancer in Sep' 2012;
Sep'2012: the stage was T2N0M0;
CT 6/13 shows the following:
1.erosion visualized in right superior alveolus, anterior, posterolateral wall of right maxillary sinus, right zygomatic bone, right zygomatic arch, posterolateral wall of right orbit, right greater wing of sphenoid and adjacent right frontal bone.
2. Heterogenously enhancing soft tissue swelling seen in the right premaxillary region, right periorbital and right infratemporal fossa. Extension of the lession into the extraconal space visualized on the righ sie (lateral and inferior aspect) 3.Soft tissue component also visaualized in the right maxillary sinus

5. minimal extradural component visualized in the anterior pole of right temporal fossa.

Dr says that it is in advanced stage & they cant go for surgery & . They commented that they cant do anything & she is going to be in palliative care. We are going 4 3rd opinion now.
We are really worried considering her age; We would appreciate any advice to guide us to proper direction are appreciated.
