Hello All

 I am the caregiver to my mother. She is 70 years old but was still in good health before Oral Cancer. This month makes one year that she has been battleing this horrible cancer. My mother has been through two surguries . Her lower leff mandible has been removed .She then went on to Radiation . Three months later the cancer was back so into second surgery. This was supposed to be a salvage surgery but there were to many cancer cells in her cheek and neck area so the doctor stopped the surgery. The cancer is also wraping around her Caroid Artery .

The cancer has caused an open wound in her neck. It started off very tiny and now its the size of a quarter, It drains fluid and has to be packed twice daily. This is just terrible. The pain my mother goes through is really bad. She does have pain medcation to help.

Has anyone here on this forum have oral cancer ? Can you offer any advice ?
