Hi Everyone:

My dad was just diagnosed with squamous cell cancer on the base of his tongue. He is elderly but in good overall physical health. He does have some loss of kidney function but the drs are still going to try low dose chemotherapy along with radiation. His dr gave him a 70% chance of recovery and said it it is curable. I should mention it did spread to his lymphnodes. Next week he starts his treatment and he did get a feeding tube in case he cannot eat during treatment. What should I expect? What kind of foods has anyone been able to eat during treatment. Please respond.
