Hi all
After weeks in hospital, multiple proceduers and biopsies and a pet scan. Dr’s have seen some early evidence of early squamous cells - therefore they are wanting you to treat him for this with chemo and possible radiotherapy.
we finically met an oncologist yesterday- she explained that dads mass was incurable (it’s 14cm). But hopefully some chemo/radio may help manage symptoms.
as a family we find it difficult to understand how drs are saying early squamous cells and also incurable?!
Dad is considering chemo, but his mental health is not in a good place.
can anyone relate? Share similar situation? Help explain the early yet incurable diagnosis??
