Hello, new to this so bare with me. My husband who is 60 years old was diagnosed June 2013 with stage 2 tonuge cancer. the tumor was at the base of his tongue. he had surgery to remove the tumor, developed thrush was hospitalized for a week. Then had a neck section done in July removed lymph nodes on both sides of his neck. August cancer free. Went in for his 3 mo post check and was complaining of an ear ache and hard to swallow. He has now been diagnosed with stage 4a tongue cancer and is in his 2nd week of radiation. he will have 5 more weeks of radiation 5 days a week and 2 more 6 hour chemo treatments in that 5 weeks. Each day it gets harder and harder for him have an intrest in eating and i feel i'm "nagging" him. He's starting to get depressed also. what a long road ahead for him.
