How Cuts Can Spur Tumor Growth

Yes, I believe this, cause my 51 year old son, who is a mechanic had a tire iron let loose one day at work and hit him in the jaw. It broke a few of his teeth out, and made his mouth almost stay closed shut. He would not see a Dr., cause he didn't want to cause his boss any trouble. They had a very good relationship and were good pals. So in the meantime, this bruise was getting bigger and I told him, he was going to have to do something about it, cause it is getting red all around it, and it looks infected. They sent him to a dental clinic, nearby, and that Dr. told him he better go to the nearest hospital, cause I think you have cancer. He did, on the tonsil and the lymphnode, so then it started growing and stuck out of the side of his neck. He ws sent down to the University of Michigan, and they told him, it was too large to operate, to come back when it shrunk from chemo. So he had chemo for quite awhile and then he also had 7 weeks of radiation. We thought it had disappeared, and in a few weeks he had to go north to get another petscan, and the Dr. said, I don't like the way it is getting hard, so that concerned him as did it I. Well soon, it started growing again. He was told that the University would not operate, because they didn't think they could get it all, they never even called us, or seen it again for the 2nd time. For the second opinion at the Karamon's Institute, in, Detroit, this other Dr. Yoo, said it is inoperable, so now my son is taking chemo and steroids every 3 weeks and lab work every week. We need a better answer than this, Please Dr. Gonzalez help my son and I. Sharon Reed
