Head and Neck cancers Support Group

Hang in there!! Spend as much quality time with your Dad. I just lost my sister to cancer. Her cancer was primarily in her mouth, and on Christmas day we found out it spread to her lungs. What a Christmas present! We were told she had a month and she passed 10 days later. All I can say is be strong for your son.

I am so sorry to hear about your sister.

Thanks for your support, my Dad means the world to me but due to my Mum being so nasty at the moment I have no choice but to take a back seat and wait for my Dad to call me.

I really feel for anyone who has a family member suffering from cancer and I wish everyone a peaceful and enjoyable time on this earth.

Thank you! I still can't believe my siste is gone! Is there any way you can spend time with your Dad without your Mother around. I would hate for you to reget not spending time with your Dad!!
Anytime you need to chat, feel free to contact me. We have to be there for each other. Cancer is such an ugly disease. I just don't know why the God I believe in allows this nasty disease to continue.

i lost my dad to nasal cancer it didnt spread but it made him weak. i regret all the things i never did or said. i love u for one.. i kept my distance too and we never talked about how he felt wot he was going through. have u prepared ur son mine was 6 and he took it bad x

I was lucky enough to get through jaw cancer well up to now i can imagine how you must be feeling its very sad but you must be very very strong you will have to live with your feelings after your father passes away so try to keep strong so you know allways you did your best I know i know very little and wish i could help stay strong x

Hi
I have spoken to my Dad this weekend and he has told me that the cancer is heridatory. My son (8) and I have to be tested, I am really scared and there is no support for me at the moment from my Mum as she is still not speaking to me.

I feel for you!! Everyone needs their Mom. Just learn from her and try not to be that way with your own son. Get tested and be strong for your son. Remember we are all here for you. We're just a computer away

Hi
Thanks for your support, I will always remember how my Mum is and will never be like that to my son. I have seen my GP who is arranging for my son and I to be tested, it is the most scarey time. I try to remain strong but there are dark times. I will try to cope the best I can though for my Son.

You will get through this. Try to have hope and faith.

You should try to spend as much time with your dad as you can, and tell him everyday how much you love him, and give him lots of hugs and kisses, because these are things you will never be able to do when he is gone, I will pray for you and your family. And pray your Mom will not be so bitter. I lost my husband last year to esophageal cancer, I wish I would of told him how much I appreciated everything he did for me, but I just took it for granted. Also i had been recently diagnosed with depression, maybe about a year before we found out about the cancer, I was on Lexapro, they did work for me, but maybe too well. They had the effect on me that I felt like I was numb about everything that was going on. Of course they did help with all we went thru before my hubby passed away.
