I'm brand new to this forum, I found you guys after a late night search for someone to talk to about this new turn in my life. My father was diagnosed about 2 weeks ago with mouth cancer on his tounge. He has an MRI to try to see if it had spread and indeed it has, it is in at least one of his lymph nodes which apparently is some of the worst news we could have gotten. I was doing alright until I talked to him today and he's a mess. My father has always been very non-emotional and the strong one in the family, but it is quite obvious that this diagnosis has put him into a deep depression and he seems like he has already taken this as a death sentence when I know that it is not.
In any case, I just wanted to explain who I am and why I'm hear. I'm hoping that this is a good place to turn to for support in this time of my life where I don't quite know what to do next or how to handle all this.
