hello all its been a while from my last post as we where waiting for all the results to be in and I feel like it’s the worst news ever...
Well he had a meeting today and all results are in it’s all over the voice box and next to artery they need to act quick cos if it goes around it they can’t do anything
He needs major surgery and they will cut out the voice box and throat and re build he will need chemo after he will be hospitial for about 2 months and some of that time in ICU and won’t be able to speck...in a few weeks I won’t hear my dads voice ever again! I keep thinking I can’t remember the last time I told him I loved him and I can’t say it now cos it looks like I’m only saying it cos of this
and I keep replaying what the dr said over and over it’s the best chance we have at beating it...not we can beat but only a chance I feel like I’m gonna lose my dad! When I look at him he looks frail now he is losing weight as the cancer is effecting how he can eat and his throat is so sore he is under the dieticians and SALT as well!
I have now told my children and they like me are upset but I have told it’s ok to be sad and cry cos we are all worried and they have been coming to me asking questions which I’m glad they are doing.
I wish this was a horrible nightmare!
Hi sorry to read this though glad to hear your dad has a chance to beat the cancer - it soulnds like it was a close thing if the cancer had grown just a bit more, though even not beating cancer is not always the end of the world, my wife and I are living with cancer and have been doing well now for over 6 years.
Hope taking to the children went well as I am sure they will find things easier to deal with if they think people are being straight with them.
One step at a time is all we can do.
<<hugs>>
