Im Kirti from Indonesia. My father has lost his battle against oral cancer. Everything happened too quickly. Within 6 months of diagonis and treatment, he left us. I have joined this forum because i wanna reach out to everyone who is fighting this disease. I believe that support and the fighting spirit is all you need to get through this!
Father had oral cancer stage 4A. Diagnosed 17th May. Partial glossectomy and graphing done from hand. Radiation 30x. Chemo - cisplatin 6 rounds. Finished chemo and radiation in Aug. PET - Nov - recurrence and spread to liver and lungs Chemo started - erbitrux and 5fu. 2 rounds done. Passed away 12/23/2014 - i believe he is in a much better place now  | | | | | Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 236 Gold Member (200+ posts) | | Gold Member (200+ posts)

I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. Oral cancer is a horrible disease and a hard battle to fight.
May your father rest in peace.
Prayers to you and your family
