Head and Neck cancers Support Group

My dad has oral mouth cancer diagnosed 2 years ago, had surgery chemo and radiation at that time. he FINALLY recovered somewhat and he had to have extensive surgery in dec due to tumor in lymph nodes areas. once they finished surgery they stated the cancer was not all removed, some hard places. options were radiation again and chemo. we said no to radiation. chemo we tried and come to find out its not working. some tumor is growing, some same and one doubled in size. now we have an option of just pain medication or taking this in home pill but its more tested on breast cancer and colon. what to do. i am concered that he willbe very disappointed if this does not work and going through several weeks again is awful./
