Im sorry you are going thru this with your husband right now. It must be very scary seeing something like that. Im sorry but I have no experience at all about what you are describing. That also could be why you havent gotten alot of responses. The big thing with oral cancer is there are so many differnt areas (tongue,cheek,lip,jaw,gums, etc) where the cancer could be. With so many different places to be treated, many of us here have very different treatment plans.
I do wish you and your husband the best possible outcome and response to treatment. I hope more who have experienced this will also post a response.
