An update on my bff dad’s cancer situation

A few days ago I wrote about my best friend Lisa dad’s cancer situation. He had the operation two days ago, and a lot of things happened. I am just glad that they didn’t wait any longer. The cancer was spreading rapidly through his tongue that it spread an inch more.

I finally got hold of her today, and I chatted with her. This is what she said about the situation.

Lines from MSN that she wrote:

.> operation was really hard
.> cancer got bigger in a wk span before operation
.> almost 1 inch bigger
.> my dads recovery they said now is at least 9 months….and hes gonna require chemo
.> his heart was a lil spiked after operation so they were worried about him
.> plus his neck wouldnt stop bleeding
.> his face looks a lil messed tho cos of all the stitching………….
.> yeah wheer they opened his whole neck and face
.> right now hes in intensive care unit
.> but he’ll be in hospital for 2 wks after
.> omg mona i dont thik u know the extent of wats happening
.> mona they took away 3/4 of his tongue…..the cancer also spread to his glands in his neck
.> and without a tongue u can speak…………he has to go to speach therapy while his trongue regrows in order to learn to speak again
.> his swallowing wont get back to normal
.> his sense of taste wont be back until maybe 6 months
.> his face is stitched up all underneath his jaw and side of his face and his mouth is a lil messed up

I can’t even imagine how hard this must feel. I just pray for her and her family to give them strength through this hard time.
