Keep this in mind stage 2 mouth cancer is extremely treatable and survivable. He has an 83% chance that he will come out of this OK. The C word is a shock but not all cancer is a death sentence. 83% odds are really good odds. I would take them any day. Even stage 4 is nearly 50/50 for mouth cancer. This is not lung cancer, it's not something to not take serious but remind yourself when you start to dwell on this that this is very survivable and chances are you father will survive this and go on to live quite a long life. http://www.cancer.org/cancer/oralcavityandoropharyngealcancer/detailedguide/oral-cavity-and-oropharyngeal-cancer-survival-rates http://www.cancer.org/cancer/oralcavityandoropharyngealcance...
