Hello Jag,

Welcome to the oral Cancer Foundation. You won't find a more informative site on oral cancer on the web.
There are alot of unanswered questions as Gary points out. Please post more info so we can help you. Be sure to write the questions down ahead of time, we never remember all of them at the appointments. If possible take along a thrid party, It's alot of information to digest when the doctor is talking.
Hoping they caught this at it's earliest stage and his treatment goes well.

All My Best, Danny Boy
