My oh has been diagnosed (yesterday) with floor of mouth cancer, he is naturally floored by his diagnosis and has not taken anything in that the consultant said. He is imagining the worst case scenario. We are waiting for test appointments. He had an X-ray of his jaw yesterday and I know a MRI was mentioned of his head, neck and chest, will there be a lot of tests prior to his MDT meeting to discuss his plan ? His tumour was less than 1cm and a lot was removed at biopsy, the tumour cells showed poorly-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. I'm racking my brain as to what to ask at this meeting as he is thinking he's going to die. Can anyone advise if they have been in the same position please ?
