So sad. And what is even worse is some of the comments here. First of all educate yourself before you comment. It depends on what type of throat cancer he has. And stage 4 is survivable depending on such. Best of luck Mr. Mortensen, prayers for you and your family.

You are wrong. Stage four does not mean it has spread to other organs, nor is it inoperable. My husband just survied neck cancer stage 4 with surgery, radiation and chemo. Last PET scan was clear. No cancer any where else in his body.
