Well, my Dad went to the doctor affiliated with Sloan-Kettering today. A more realistic outlook of this cancer is that due to the recurrence it is not curable. It can be treated with hormone therapy for a while, several years even, however, eventually the cancer will become resistant and grow. Basically, my Dad will be living with and eventually die of this cancer. Maybe something else will get him first, however, I am faced with the fact that his mortality is in question. This is not an easy pill to swallow. I am up and down in my emotions, and I'm trying to maintain a positive attitude.
My A called from the rehab today. I had to tell him about my Dad. I probably shouldn't have, but I felt it was best while he was there and will have time to share about it, talk to his counselor etc....he was sobbing on the phone. More so because he was already having an emotional day and then the news.
I am just so full of a million emotions right now. Mostly I am trying to keep strong. Please pray for all of us.
