My dad's cancer is back, it is in the base of the tongue, his surgery is scheduled for june 8th, he is very depressed, I don't know how to cheer him up. The good news is we are together... My mom and I will be taking care of him after his surgery, we were explained the surgical procedures he will have done, but I am more concerned on what is next. We feel guilty we didnt get a PET scan earlier. I guess that doesn't matter now...
