My dad was 69 on the 18th. On the 2nd September he was rushed into the hospital as he was bringing up clots. He’d been poorly a while but refused to go to the doctors. He had an endoscopy and the worse was found. A tumour on the tonsil. The biopsy revealed it was very aggressive and invasive and the cancer was massive. Diagnosed as head and neck cancer. My legs went and for the first time in my life nearly fainted. It got worse no treatment or surgery would work. Now it’s a waiting game, every day I phone and every day he’s getting more poorly. Today he’s in pain and started the Oramorph. I just want someone to tell me how long I have my dad here. It’s breaking my heart not knowing when I have to say goodbye.
