I am so glad I came acrosss this site. My husband was just diagnosed with stage 4 mouth cancer, he has to have 20 teeth taken out before he can start treatment(radiation and chemo 5 days a week for 7 weeks), as surgery is not an option do to it being too advanced(attached to muscles and bones) My insurance doen't go into affect till tomarrow and now they wont touch him as he is considered "uninsurable"...now we are getting the run around on getting him help. That the lord, it seems like I have found the support we will need through this, as his dr said we have a long road ahead of us.


Husband age 48, diagnosed 5/10/07 with stage 4 mouth cancer, surgury not an option, teeth removed 6/21/07, 5x wks of rad with Cisplatin 1x week for 7-8 week course starting 7/10/07. Update 02/25/08 right maxillectomy and right infratemporal fossa resection
