My dad who is 62 years old was diagnosed with stage 2 tongue cancer with lymph nodes negative. They took around 10 of them and all them came back negative. Oncologist told us that he will have 6 weeks of radiation but not really sure about the chemo. He says its on the borderline for chemo. He used to eat heavy tobaccos, drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes for 30 years. Cause of tongue cancer is prob tobacco. He has been eating healthy foods and compelty stopped drinking and smoking all together. I think chemo will do more harm then good for him but want to know what you guys think. Should he go for chemo if its a choice? I really don’t want him to go through chemo so any suggestion will help. Thank you

Thanks maurie, my dad doesn’t have any teeth so that wouldn’t be a problem and i will def ask every single thing you mention to the doctor. I saw a post where someone mention neubulizer to help with mucositis. Do you think that will help during radiation? If yes then where should i buy one (amazon)?
