Welcome to the Oral Cancer Foundation DJ. You have found the most informative site on oral cancer on the web.
What type of radiation is your husband going to receive? I had ssc on my right tonsil and a neck disection also. I am over two years out from treatment. The radiation can be the roughest part of the treatment. I was lucky and had no side effects from any of the treatment. I hope this will be true in your case. You can post any question you can think of and someone with similer treatment will respond.
You are now part of a huge international cyber family that all have something in common, oral cancer.

I hope his treatment goes well and you soon will be the one offering support to new members.

All my best, Danny Boy
