Hi everyone. I don't want to get into the details, but the short version is... My husband was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma on his tounge in September of 2010. He has mentally and physically battled with this ever since. Upon diagnosis, surgery was performed to remove the tumor from his tongue as well as a bilateral dissection of the limphnodes in his neck. He leans more towards homeopathic resources rather than modern medicine. He has experienced several scares of possible reoccurrence over the past 5 years, yet is always in denial that he ever had cancer to begin with. I have faith in modern medicine, which is our relationships major shortfall, as we take different approaches to diagnosis, care, and treatment. Right now, I am concerned that the cancer is back... Too many details to get into here. I feel like he isn't willing to fight...I'm scared and feel so alone. How can I convince him to see a real doctor again? We are young- 36, and have young children. I'm scared that he will avoid treatment and then options will be reduced and survival rate will demisnish.
