I'm taking my 62 year old father in to Dr in the morning to get the results of PET scan that was taken after being diagnosed with tonsil cancer 2 weeks ago. He has been a smoker and drinker for most of his life. He was an Iron worker before retiring about 2 years ago. Not sure of his height & weight but I'd say he is average. 6' maybe 190lbs I have no idea? He has had some problems with eating because his stomach causes breathing problems when he is full. But no one has been able to find a reason why, so it has been undiagnosed. What do I need to ask the specialist regarding the cancer and treatment options? I need a list of questions I have no idea where to start. We are very overwhelmed with a current family situation that has been going on for the last 9 months and just need the basics to get us through tomorrow so where know where to start and are options to ask about. The specialist will be on vacation for the next 3 weeks and we want to get everything we can from him so we can make a decision by the time he returns so we can start treatment or other options? Please help, I am at a loss and by myself on this!!!!!!! He is single and I am the only person here to support him and I am also single. A lot for us to take on going in to this blind sided.
