Found out today that my dad has bone cancer in his jaw. At the moment it sounds fairly positive, inasmuch that the treatment will probably only consist of removal of the affected part and a plate put in, no chemo or radiotherapy needed. He's having some scans on Friday to check if it's spread.
Both he and my mum seem very calm and rational about this but I keep feeling like I'm going to cry, which doesn't help anybody. I don't feel I can 'burden' them with my feelings about this but I do need to vent. I am scared at the thought of losing my dad, even though at the moment the prognosis is good.
If anyone has any experience of this I would like to hear from you. Thank you so much.
