My Dad has SCC in upper Maxilla. After losing appetite and refusing totally to eat doctor said we can’t complete treatment before receiving enough nutrition and decided to put a feeding tube directly. But things are going worse, the tube is leaking food and his sugar rates keep on going high or low extremely which is causing very bas side effects. Doctor says tube isn’t the reason. Any ideas please?
My Father a 70 year old man who had never smoked or drank something dangerous more than coca cola in his life! Got diagnosed lately with stage 4 SCC of maxilla. It has spread right maxillary sinus, base of skull, masticator space and right lymph nodes and both side of neck. We are doing radio and chem therapies but his situation keeps getting worse. 3 days ago his face got all swallow and we rushed him to hospital they said he has infection. I’m not really sure, should we change doctor or trust the process?
My Dad (70 years old) was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of the maxilla. The primary tumor is described as a large radiotracer-avid mass centered in the right masticator and parapharyngeal spaces, which has invaded the right maxillary sinus, the maxilla, and the base of the skull. The cancer has spread to several regional lymph nodes, including the right submandibular, bilateral upper jugulo-carotid, and right subclavian nodes.
AI says its stage 4. I want advice I’m really afraid of his life, doctor says its shrinking but I want to ask here. Is there anyone who is familiar with such experience? Is there hope?
