(no subject)
My dad has been given the news that there really is no hope.
The chemo is not working, and periodically doesn't. They've found a mass in his lung. No one's bothered to go in yet, but general feeling from the doctors is that the cancer is spreading.
Basically, the chemo is keeping him alive (seriously sick, but alive) a little longer at a time. no telling how long, and no telling how long he'd be around if he quit it.
There is some talk of sending him to a hospital to put radiation seeds in his body. But I have no idea if that's going to pan out yet.
One day at a time, guys. I hope no one ever has to deal with cancer like this. Not that my dad has it any better or any worse...cancer is cancer, but to watch someone slowly die...I can't even begin to tell you what it's like.
Especially someone you take after. Especially someone that thinks the world shines out your ass and supports you wholeheartedly in every thing you do. Who wants the world for you and just can't make it happen.
Sorry, this is depressing. And that's what therapy's for :)
