Let $H$ be the orthocenter of triangle $ABC$. For any point $Q$ on the Euler circle (nine-point circle) of triangle $ABC$, determine whether
\[QA^2 + QB^2 + QC^2 - QH^2\]
is a constant. If so, express this constant in terms of the side lengths $a$, $b$, $c$, and the circumradius $R$ of triangle $ABC$.
