Glad it worked out. As your dad's treatment progresses, new questions will arise. This is the place where you can get answers from people who have been there, both as patients and as caregivers.

Someone should accompany your dad to his appointments and take notes. The patient may not always "hear" what the doctor is saying, and it's good to have a second person there. The information on these boards and on the main OCF site will help you come up with questions to bring to the appointments.

The OCF homepage has links to hundreds of pages of information on a variety of topics, all related to oral cancer. It has a search function (separate from the search function for the message board) that will allow you to easily find what you're looking for.

Keep coming back!

All the best --
Leslie

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
