Hi,
So the story goes....
My Dad started getting a pain in his face and neck about 5 weeks ago, it got slowly worse and he know has pain all done his face and jaw and an aching in his tongue, so bad that he could hardly eat or talk for long. It all came to a head on Saturday when he got up and the pain had shifted to the other side of his face and then he went numb all the way down his left side and he was slurring his words so my mum phoned an ambulance. They think he had a mini stroke but he has recovered pretty much fully from that now and the only problem now is his face. He is taking oramorph at regular intervals as the pain is so bad and he hasnt eaten for days, all the docs are baffeled to what it is but they surely cant leave it as it is? He is due to go back to hospital next week for a biopsy to check the cancer hasnt returned as he had it in the throat about 5 years ago, but they dont think this is related.
Thankyou for reading, x
