So, had our consult with my dad's surgical oncologist and radiation oncologist and I'm a bit overwhelmed. Drove 4 hours one way to Mass General's Cancer Care Center.

Dad's going to have to have part of his jaw removed and replaced with a bone from his leg. He'll also need radiation 5 days a week for 6.5 wks. The surgeon said he does 2 or 3 of this procedure a week, so he's probably very good at it.

This is my dad though. I'm scared of what's going to happen, if he'll be in pain, his mental state, etc. Also worried about bills and helping them stay afloat while my mom is off work for the summer and Dad can't work. Stressful times!
