My dad is 55 and has been diagnosed with Squamus cell carcinoma in his mouth/throat. In the last month since diagnosis he has had daily hospital appointments and 7 teeth out in surgery. They can't cut out the cancer so radiotherapy starts at the end of July or 7 weeks.
Does anyone have any advices the tips? He intends to work the whole time and is getting annoyed by daily appointments at the local hospital, usually last minute, and phone calls. The treatment will be done at a hospital an hour away and he's requested late appointments so he can still work all day.
I'm trying to do my best to support my parents (who are driving each other nuts) but I don't know how.
