Hey everyone 🤗 my Dad 68 was diagnosed with stage 3 Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) with perineural invasion (PNI). We are waiting on PET Scan and then hoping to start treatment. At the moment, the doctors are saying radiation and chemo as his treatment plan (if they did surgically he would lose entire tongue)

His main issues is the severe pain from PNI and he has been in hospital past 3 weeks trying to get pain under control. Due to the pain and scc he is not eating a lot.

Just wondering if you have any tips,advice or suggestions which may be beneficial to him right now and for the future when treatment starts?

Thanks in advance
