We are just at the beginning stages of this. We got her diagnosis from her ENT on Tuesday and have our first appt with an Oncologist tomorrow (Friday the 28th). My siblings and I had a family zoom call last night to discuss the options the ENT told us about: surgery, chemo & radiation, palliative care, or nothing. He told us the surgery could be as much as 14 hours because of the placement of her mass on her tongue going to her vocal cords. That is out of the question for us. Most of us agree that chemo is probably not a great option either. So we are going to ask about palliative care maybe some type of radiation directly to the mass? I’m not even sure that is a possibility but at this point it’s all we have come up with. I’m sure that oncologist will have more information for us. The other issue is taking care of all this from her home or putting her in some type of a care center or hospital. She has full-time health aides at the house with her, but they would not be able to handle all of the appointments for treatments. I’m not really sure my siblings and I can handle that either. So we have a lot of decisions to make in the coming days. I think all of you for your kind words, information, suggestions, and prayers. I’m sure I will be back with questions, and keep you posted . God bless you all. @alpaca @loli @hrhwilliam @calenbd
