In late 2005, my husband developed a sore in his mouth. He went to the dentist 9 times, finally he saw an oral surgeon who said it was cancer of the floor of the mouth. He had surgery in Feb 2006. They decided he didn't need radiation. We haven't missed one follow up appointment or scan. In Nov
his PET scan showed positive in his mouth, it was followed up 48hrs later with a CAT scan that showed a shadow. The Doctors didn't believe it, thought they were false positives, and said the scans would be repeated in March. He now has cancer in his mouth, neck and jaw. He is scheduled for extensive surgery to be followed by 8 weeks of radiation.They are telling me he will have a permanent abdominal feeding tube and may not be able to speak. I'm numb
