So I can’t sleep with worrying about my dads appointment on Thursday with the oncologist.
long story short,
- had neck dissection to remove 40 lymph nodes, 6 of which were cancerous. - surgery 13th November.
- complications with seroma under his chin. - further op to “stick the inside to the outside”
- dentist repaired and removed 4 teeth and he had a nerve stuck in his gum - another op beginning of Jan.
- severe pain since - lost weight - getting peg tube fitted.
- hospital keep cancelling his mask fitting appointment.
- have an appointment on Thursday to see oncologist.
I’m so scared she is going to say there is nothing they can do now.
