Thank you so much for that offer. For this moment in time, my brother is keeping the status quo. No real change but no real pain (thankfully). He has not had any delerium in the last few days either but continues not to eat. The mucous build up in his mouth is very heavy and does interfere with his speech. We will see if the suction machine helps.
Twin brother Stage 4. Mouth, tongue, jaw, throat, neck and vocal chords. Not a candidate for surgery or chemo due to earlier health issues this year. He is opting for no treatment. He smoked and drank. Nutritional levels were not at their highest the last several years.
