Thank you so much so the great ideas. Shall I just say the my father is not the easiest person to try to suggest ideas to. He doesn't even like it that I have joined this board, he feels I guess that if we don't talk about his cancer it will all just go away. If they talk about cancer on the news, he hurries and changes the channel. About 5 yrs ago, he had colon cancer. For that they just operated, no chemo or radiation, and he was good as new. But this oral cancer has really gotten him bad. He still smokes a carton a week, which I can't understand when cigs probably put him in this position. But he is my dad, so I have to keep on pushing him. Oh, and now about a week ago he out of the blue started having these morning headaches. He woke up one morning last week and his eye sort of twisted, almost like a lazy eye, and he sees double out of that eye now. So back to the dr we went. Hoping this is just a freak eye problem, however, Friday we are scheduled for a neurologist to get a head scan to make sure nothing is going on. I am married myself with 3 children, but I am the only one my dad has. So, it's just me pushing him all the time and trying to get him to go to drs, try eating, etc. It's hard to help a person when they are not into helping themselves. I am so happy I found this board. Thanks for letting me vent and being so gracious. Please pray for our visit on Friday. In the mean time, has anyone heard of this type of cancer affecting the brain in anyway? Of course, I am thinking the worst already, You know how it is when you look symptoms up online. It scares ya to death!!! :-)
Thanks again.
