Sorry for posting this, but I wanted somewhere to get stuff off my chest.
Back at the beginning of August my Dad noticed a lump appearing in his nostril. He went to the doctor who said it was some sort of ulcer, but would make an appointment with the ENT consultant at Warwick hospital just to be on the safe side. After a **** up by the admin weenies there, the appointment was cancelled and moved back until mid September, a week before they were due to go on holiday . When he went, the consultant did a biopsy and said not to worry, go on holiday and the results would be back when my parents got back after 2 weeks.
When they got back last week, they went to the hospital only to be told that the initial biopsy was inconclusive and they would have to admit him into the day unit so they could take a deeper one. He went back in today to get the results from that biopsy.
Turns out it's actually cancer, which is what we were all worried about. Fortunately the doctor said it is treatable and it isn't aggressive, but it would be a big job because of where it is.
We should be thankful that it's treatable and not spread, but I'm still just sat here shocked to the core. When I heard the word "cancer" I just felt like the world had stopped momentarily.
