So an update with my dad:

Ct scan confirmed that the tumour has metastasized from his tongue into his carotid artery. It has wrapped itself around the carotid artery and so the doctor said that if they do the surgery, he will die during surgery because of the location of the tumour. He told my dad that there is nothing he can do and he is terminal. Words can't describe how heartbroken we all were when we heard this news. My dad will pass away in the next 6 months.
