Cancer is back

Well after five weeks of my dad going through major surgery for mouth and neck cancer , a grape size boil has appeared on his face same side as surgery ( unfortunately it's not a boil its cancer ) my dad has to get results in Friday ( it's going to be a bloody long week) as he's meant to have a pre radiotherapy appointment in Thursday at The Beatson but today he was called and told they have cancelled it !! I hope to god I'm wrong but I have a very bad feeling about the outcome on Friday and I need to gain the mental strength to support my dad ( worst case scenario) as the surgeon said it's unlikely they can operate again as it's very fast acting cancer the fact that five weeks after surgery it's back ! #cancerreallyfeckingsucks !!! Can't believe this  

  • Hi Winning, 

    I'm really sorry to hear that a boil has appeared on the same side of your dad's face where he had surgery for mouth and neck cancer and can understand why you may be worried about the results.

    Our minds have a tendency to wander to negative thoughts when we are worried so if you can try to stay busy and occupy your mind. And remember you're not alone. Many of our members say that the waiting is the hardest part of the process and I'm sure they will post soon to offer their support and share their experiences with you.

    Good luck for Friday; we'll be thinking of you.

    Do come back to let us know the outcome of the results.

    Kind Regards,
