Thank you ChristineB, Cheryld,n74tg, and PaulB for your replies. We are going to the BC Cancer agency here in Surrey, British Columbia. I took my dad to the pain management clinic there so they can help him manage his pain for now. Today he is going to the ENT for biopsy etc. to confirm diagnosis. I will keep you all posted. This has been very tough on my dad as he thought the battle was over and the whole family cause the family depends on my dad heavily. Radiation and Chemo were so hard on my dad and he also got a Gtube infection as well. He dropped 10 pounds in the first week of treatment, the doctor said that if he keeps on dropping weight like this, that they would have to stop treatment so he almost didn't even make it through treatment. He was in tears when he heard it was back, which really broke my heart cause I never saw my dad cry ever. My heart breaks for anyone that is going through this, and all the best to all of you.
