Hi I’m new here. My stepdad has been diagnosed with Carcinoma on tongue. I’m not really sure of where exactly it is but I’m just extremely worried he went for a check in the dentist they referred hito the dental hospital and they did a biopsy which confirmed the cancer he now has been referred to a hospital that specialises in this cancer, They have said they will have to do surgery on the areand he has a mri today and a meeting on Friday and then a PET scan in a few weeks. Is this all normal? Why do they need to do a mri and a Pet scan I don’t understand, I haven’t had the chance to talto any doctors yet but I’m also too scared to speak to them as I feel like I’m just not sure if I want to hear it all
