Update: He is still in the hospital. They will not allow him to leave, fearing his safety. If he lives with me or my brother there will be periods where he will be left alone. He is unable to even stand. When he does, he seems to pass out. I think I found a nursing facility. I hope to find out today. I have asked the rad doctor to do another scan to see if the cancer has come back because my father has severe headaches again, which the doctor told me could be an indication that it's back. He hasn't done the scan yet and I don't know if he actually will.

Cheryld: I have the same question: 6 months? He was diagnosed in December and at that time was told he needed the mandiblectomy, rad, and chemo. He didn't even have a cardiac cautherization until mid April. I don't know if the doctors just let him fall between the cracks or if he did not want treatment and just wouldn't tell us. I do plan to ask though because I have medical POA.
