Just found out my dad has some kind of cancer in the throat. I'm not sure which as its taken a bit for him to say he's been told he has cancer, so my information is limited. It started some months ago now. He lost his voice weeks ago. Again I don't have loads of details as they've been trying to keep it under wraps to not worry me or my brother, who currently doesn't know. He had the biopsy result yesterday and has then had a CT scan and been told to come back today for the results. I'm now hugely worried as that feels very quick and there seemed to be some suggestion of an unclear verdict from pathology (this could also be him avoiding telling us everything) but they had questions on whether it may also be in his lungs or whether it originated there or elsewhere. I'm guessing we will know more today, I guess I'm here looking for positivity as feel it is going to be worse news today. I'm scared and sad for him and what it means for the future. I'm scared if its the worst news what will happen then, how he will cope, how mum will cope. Thanks for reading x
Hi Flic welcome to the forum. Do you live with your parents or away from home? It's difficult because your dad is potentially not telling you everything to spare you and not upset you. Or he could be struggling to process it all himself..Are you able to speak to him and explain how not knowing the truth leaves you feeling more worried. I know it's not easy but try to take each day 1 step at a time because attempting to look forward when there are so many unknowns will help nobody.. I Hope that any news that you have had today is positive for you all.
