Hi, My brother was recently diagnosed with stage 3 cancer of the tongue(tumor at the base) and it has spread into the lymph nodes. He is positive for the HPV virus. He just had a PEG put in and is scheduled for radiation and chemo on March 17, for 8 weeks.
I have been reading the posts here for a few weeks and decided to join because you all seem so brave,supportive and informative.I am trying to get my brother and his wife to join.
It is hard being away from him at this time, he lives in Md, I live on Long Island,NY. His wife just told me today that she was told to get him,caphosal for dry mouth,biotene mouthwash and aquaphor for his face and neck.
Anything suggestions or information would be very much appreciated-Thank you
