I posted in the intro forum about my dad's cancer last week and am switching here now. I hope those who supported me with their kind words on that forum will read this too... My dad is in India and has cancer on his inner cheek. It is stage 1. My sister is with him and after two opinions, he has decided to do a modified neck dissection and tongue grafting(?) in India. He will go for surgery tomorrow..the dr. predicts a 4 week recovery after which radiation maybe performed. Although I can't do much from so far away, what do we need to know about after care? Can anyone help with experiences, pain management? Thanks..
