Hello Joyce,

I did a little search around the forum for you and found a couple of past discussion threads which may be of interest to you.

Quite recently, about a month ago, we had a member, [@Pudong]‍ who posted on the forum to share his/her brother's ear cancer story - he was also diagnosed with stage 4 ear cancer. You can read the full story here and don't hesitate to respond to it if you wish. I am sure you two would have a lot to say to one another.

[@Newquaychick]‍ also posted a few months ago to share her mum's story. Her mum was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the ear. I am not sure whether this is the same type of ear cancer as your father's but you can find her forum thread here and share your own experience with her.

I hope this helps a little and that you can soon connect with some of our other members who are affected by ear cancer.

Best wishes,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi I realise your post is a few years old and have no wish to bring up something that will upset you, but my father is going through the same thing, he has had his whole ear removed but has now been told the tumour has returned and it has spread, he was to have radiotherapy but on finding the cancer had spread this was cancelled. He is going to see the doctor tomorrow but has been told the treatment options are limited. I wonder if you could give me an idea of what may be coming his way, so that I might plan how to help him. Thanks

I am so sorry to hear about your father,unfortunately I am unable to give you any more insight to this as my father died in 2018,he was suffering from alzheimer's as well and while spending a week in a respite home he became very disoriented and had to be hospitalised and then developed delirium,he was given palliative care and pain management as we suspect he was in pain from his ear cancer,he died 3 weeks later,a blessing as he did not understand what was happening with his ear,sorry this doesn't help,it's an awful situation for you but get as much support from the palliative care people as you can and don't be afraid to ask for help and advice.

Kind regards
