Hello & welcome Daisy. I am truly sorry to hear of the bad news. Slow your mind a bit & breathe. Is your husband being seen at a comprehensive cancer center that has lots of experience with head & neck cancers? MD Anderson in Dallas or is it Houston comes to mind. If not, get to one quickly. Youv'e got a lot coming at you guys, hard & fast. Remain calm, but take action. Keep coming here & let us know whats going on. We are here for you just as many others have been here for us when we first came here. It sort of dawned on me a couple weeks ago or so that I am a 2 year survivor of stage IV advanced cancer. I had a 6cm tumor at base of tongue & it had spread to 3 lymph nodes in my neck. I am alive, strong & cancer free today as far as I know & give a lot of the credit to the comprehensive cancer center & the team approach to my treatment. We hit it as hard as we could with all the treatments available. Stay positive, get educated & don't ever give up! Erik
