Hi everyone, this morning it was confirmed that it is gum cancer. Now we are at a loss of what to do next. They want to compare the lung cancer tumor with the biopsy of the gum cancer to see if it is a new cancer or a spread of the lung. PLEASE reply if you can give me any hope that this can be curable. This year has been a nightmare, and since my hubby and I are the main caregivers, this is so hard. Any feedback on your own experiences would be so appreciated. Brian, it sounds like you have gone through a lot, and still have hope. Please respond. Thanks.
