Hello All,

Just wanted to vent a little. Went to oncologist yesterday to get results of new CT. In the same area as before there is a new growth. Dr. said he does not know what it is. We see specialist next week. Will read x-rays and probably do a scope. Will probably order a biopsy, and then what? My father has not had anything, anything by mouth in over a year. Underwent Chemo, Radiation, and HBO, apparently all to no avail. I would read this website and come back with so much hope, and try to pass it on to him. But now what? He said last night that he doesn't want to go through all that again. And who can blame him? He's no longer living, just existing. Imagine if you can, eating 3 meals by tube. Mouth so dry, but you can't even swallow a sip of water. All he can do, is spray a small amount of water in mouth. I don't know what to do or say anymore. He's scared, I'm scared. I just want time to break down, but there is no time. Thanks for listening.
