Christine,

Welcome to OCF! Sorry to hear about your husbands situation.

I've had 3 additional surgeries after my first surgery and radiation. I know of others that have also. So yes he can have additional surgery and possibly RT, but that depends on his unique situation.

Has he been to his doctor yet about the lesion? His doctor should be able to do a biopsy in the office if he can access the lesion. Radiation did a lot of damage to me and I still get mouth ulcers that pop up from time to time and most of the time they were not cancer. I hope this is the case with your husband. If it does turn out to be cancer, please go for a 2nd opinion at a major cancer center.
