I am so sorry you all find yourselves in such a situation.

Look for posts by JAM (Amy in the Ozarks) and Cookey (Liz in the UK), both of whom have been in your shoes. Each kept a running commentary in the OCF Cancer Blogs forum -- Amy's is called "A Caretaker's Journal" and Liz had two: "Walking towards the light" and "My lone journey."

I am sure you will hear at some point from both of them, as they are both here frequently. My thoughts are with you and your husband.

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.
