Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am so sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your dads diagnosis.
I was treated at The Beatson for a blood cancer - an amazing place.
A cancer diagnosis indeed brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but I found talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helped a lot.
The Community is organised into various support groups and I see you have found our Head and neck cancer group, this is the place to connect you with people walking the same treatment journey.
Follow the link I've created above then you can then introduce yourself and post questions selecting '+New' or '+' (depending on the device you're using) and join in with existing discussions by clicking on 'reply'.
You may also find our Carers only, Family and friends and Supporting someone with incurable cancer groups a benefit as you will connect with others supporting family through their cancer journey.
It’s always good to talk, our Macmillan support line is open every day from 8am to 8pm and it's free to call. Clicking here will give you more information on what the Support Line offers. Alternatively, if it's easier for you then you can email them or use the online chat.
Our Online Information and Support Section is a good place to find information covering cancer diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.
All the very best.
