We went an saw the ENT last week. HE gave us the diagonisis and told us our staging. Not 100% stage 3 but for sure Stage 2. The cancer has spread to the corner of his mouth on the inside so we have been told that they will have to remove the corner of his mouth and he will look different. Which has hubby a little concerned.
We have an appt on March 12 with the Cancer center for a second opinion ... we didnt request this ... it was offered. We will also see the Rad oncologist at that time and other support people.

Hoping some of you have been through this kind of surgery and can offer some advise on what we need to know going in.
He will be in the hospital for 10 days after surgery. Feeding tube in the nose and a trek in the throat. They are doing a neck disection to get the nodes and then they will biopsy them.

He does not want the feeding tube when we come home. He is adement about that.

Any advise would help
