Danny, thank you for your reply. As of right now, they said surgery is not an option. As for whether or not they will be able to do surgery after treatment, we hope and pray they will but will have to wait and see. Im not sure about the chemo drugs yet. We are going down to the hospital tomorrow where they will fit him for a mask, determine whether or not they will remove his teeth and so forth. They said they will definitly put in a feeding tube but im not sure if they are going to do that tomorrow or not. Im sure we will find out the exact's about the chemo and radiation tomorrow. Unfortunatly, he cant eat like a pig before treatment because his throat is so sore, it is so hard for him to eat anything. Even to drink. The doctor said the tumor is so big that he would have eventually suffocated from it in his sleep, so it causes a great deal of discomfort and pain to get anything down. The feeding tube will be great for him because of that. Thanks for welcoming me to this wonderful group and for all of your support.
