Well, we saw another Dr. in Pittsburgh this past Friday for a second opinion. The tumor is much larger than we originally thought and we are facing 1 or 2 possibilities depending on the PET/CT scan we had on Friday
1. If the cancer has not spread they will preform a total glossectomy and left neck disection. (He already had the nodes on the right taken out in Sept.) PEG and Trach also.
2. If it has spread it is non-operable and terminal!
Excuse the language....but WHAT THE F**K?!?!?! This has me so worried and depressed! Should we go get a THIRD opinion....Sloan-Kettering, John's Hopkins, Mayo Clinic? I will do whatever it takes. Right now, we are with UPMC, one of the top 10 in Cancer treatment in the country but I don't want to accept a death sentance and neither does my Dad!
