Thank you both Christine and Sophia.

I am so lost. We are in Canada and the healthcare system here is free but slow. We are waiting for the appointments but to me it is still taking too long. I think I will start be persistant so that I can get somewhere.

I have been told that everything will happen at our Cancer center. They have a dentist there and a whole team. The lump in my hubby's face is about 2 1/2cm so I am worried.

Can you guys give any advise on Dieter things. What he should be eating right now ... I have heard that he will need to increase his calories b/c of the radiation. Are there things he should eat now ... before any surgeries.

thanks again for all your support
