My dad diagnosed parotid gland cancer he's 79,off for pre op assessment next week,planning a partial gland removal plus neck dissection.Squmous cells found in gland,he's in pain and the cancers poorly differentiated.
Anyways I'm not sleeping at all and if one more person says you're so strong or says stay strong I'm going to scream.Im not strong I'm terrified of what my dad will have to go through,worried he won't survive,scared of how the operation will leave him...but I can't voice that at all ,you've to pretend to be strong. I just want to wake up and this have been a nightmare.
