My dad was diagnosed with stage 3 tongue cancer in the beginning of July. He's been going through the treatments really good - up until now. He only has 7 more days (14 treatments) of radiation and 1 chemo. The mucus in his mouth his killing him (along with his throat, fatigue, etc) He even told my mom today that he wishes he could die. He just turned 57. There's nothing I can do and I hate seeing him in so much pain! I feel so helpless. Does anyone know what happens if treatment cannot be continued (it's been 5 1/2 weeks). The 22nd should be the last day. How about the mucus?
Thanks,
Tracy
