Dear Forum members

I am 80 years old. I have squamous cell ca of the llower oartvof my face. There is a fistula/tract that extends from the cancerous growth on the outside to my mouth cavity.

This tract makes me unable to eat or drink. As the liquids leak through the tract outside. Nor can i creat negative pressure inside my mouth to suck on a straw to drink water ot liquids.

Here is a picture of my condition

Any suggestions on how to close this tract?
