Absolutely devastated

Not really sure why I'm writing on here, I guess it's for a little reassurance that or maybe just to vent my feelings.

my dad has been diagnosed with cancer of the jaw bone and saliva gland, his pain seems to be getting progressively worse by the day and it's breaking my heart that I can't do anything to take the pain away and make everything better for him. 

I feel so selfish at the thought of losing him, I'm too young to lose my dad there's so much stuff I'm yet to do that I know would make him so proud. 

He is a strong man and that's my only hope for him to get better. He's such a good man and this is such a cruel disease my heart truly goes out to him and anyone else that is experiencing this. 

Second MRI scan tomorrow which I'm only guessing is to see if it has spread, my parents are trying make it easier on me by not telling me the full story but it's making me feel worse. 

 

 

  • Hello Sammycub,

    Welcome to our forum. I am so sorry to hear about your dad and I hope they can do something soon to sort out his pain.

    I hope you will meet others here who know exactly how you are feeling at the moment. In fact I just welcomed another member [@babybel]‍ who seems to be in a very similar situation to you and whose dad is also waiting on more test results. You can read [@babybel]‍ 's story here and feel free to respond to it if you wish. It's good sometimes to know that we are not alone and that someone else is going through the same thing and experiencing very similar feelings.

    How did the MRI scan go? We are keeping everything crossed for good results.

    Best wishes,
