I just need to vent really. My dad was diagnosed just over a week ago with squamous cell carcinoma in his jaw. He was due to have an op to remove it and have a bone graft in about 10 days from now. But since last night his gum/jaw has been bleeding. He has gone to A&E and will soon be seen by a consultant. I know he's in the best place but I am so scared.
The treatment seems fairly straightforward (in cancer terms) and he may not need radiotherapy. But now with this bleeding I don't know what to think.
Has anybody been in the same situation? I just don't know what to do or think.
