hi

sorry about thjis having trouble posting.

My dad has just been diagnosed

the facts seem to be as follows.

1 78 years old
2 tumour is malignant
3. he says it is in the tongue (side) and poss floor of the mouth
4. diagnosed after toothache in lower right teeth
5. Says he can now feel a lump in the soft part under his jaw
6.has been told he needs 8 weeks radiotherapy and Cheamo at the same time once a week.
7. No surgury

He has had his peg fitted but was admitted to hosp yeaterday as it has become infected so this has now put back his treatment until the infection clears up.

my questions are this

1. What are the likely outcomes?
2. What can I expect from the treatments?
3. How are we going to cope?
