I can tell you from everything I hae read that it seems to be an painful and agonizing way to go. I had 25 % of my tongue removed and all the lymph nodes out of my left neck. I didnt have rad or chemo. I was nervous and didnt know if I wanted to do it ..I have 5 kids and I never felt sick before the surgery .
But it was my only way . I chose to go through with it . It was uncomfortable But I got througha nd I have a few issues but better then the alternative. So again I feel it is a personal choice and it is hard to watch the ones with love suffer. All you can do is be there for him and respect him and honestlt learn all tou can about this and all the options !!!
Just know that you have come to the right place for info and support !
