Hello,
I had news today that my dad’s scc skin cancer has gone to his lymph nodes and he has quickly developed 2 more skin tumours in a short space of time. I can’t believe it as I though SCC only v rarely spread. He’s in his early 80s and there are concerns about surgery so he’ll be given palliative radiotherapy. If this doesn’t work we will lose him within a year.
I am devastated for my dad and for my mum. I am very concerned that he will be in pain as time goes on. Right now, apart from obvious skin lesions and recovering from a large scalp excision, he doesn’t feel ill.
My question is, what can we expect with this treatment? Will he be in pain?
Thank you.
