My husband had partial glossectomy and neck dissection 7/23. Lightning speed with this entire situation. Sore week of 7/4, two biopsies week after, surgery week after that. Sore went from small hole to two to a giant sore in three days the week of 7/4. He was getting worse, refused to see dentist, I propelled him from forced visit to dentist, oral surgeon, head and neck surgeon and second opinion at Yale within one week. He would still be sitting complaining about sore if I didn't do all this. He was already on antidepressant, antipsych and mood stabilizer before surgery for anger issues. Drs maintained meds in hospital. Now home, taking lorab 2x daily instead of 6. Will not even take Tylenol to get him through midday pain. Anger, irritability, being a jerk. I have been here for him the whole time and am keepin my mouth shut trying to understand thjis is cancer and I am not in his shoes. But the anger and irritabiolity are advancing to levels that are not good. Seems to be taking hiim to levels that he would be at without his psych meds. Scared. I know it is depression. Is this from anger about cancer? Dropping off the narcotic fast? Coming to terms with everything? His original anger almost tore us apart and tongue cancer is bringing that abusize person back...what is this?
