Welcome,

Sorry that this has happened but you have found a good place for help and support.

My cancer started on tongue in 2004, went in for surgery took 1/4 off. Everything was fine. I could to talk, eat as before.
Then one year later found lump at base of neck. This time had surgery to remove lymph glad, part of neck muscle, and jugular vain. Because it had spread, had to have Radiation & Chemo.
The feeding tube is a good thing. It will help him as he goes through treatment. He will need all the nourishment he can get.

I am not going to lie it was not a fun trip. I am now 9 months from last treatment. I am slowly recovering. I have had ALL CT scans come back clear at this time. I do run into problems now and then. I just take one at a time and one day at a time.

I know all of this is over whelming. Take one step at a time and ask Dr. all the questions you want.

Take care,
Diane
