tonight or tomorrow I will write a post so you all know all the fabulous things going on in my life right now because there are so many it's slightly overwhelming, but right now i'm going to tell you something so when i bring it up again we're all on the same page. I found out over spring break although the treatment plan was confirmed today which is why i'm bringing it up now. Ironically it was only a little bit after i wrote that cancer post after someone really close to me was diagnosed with cancer. i've only told a few people, but i figure it's time it's public knowledge. my dad has cancer. well, to be completely correct, his cancer has come back (for those who don't know and/or forgot my dad had cancer when i was 5th grade. he went through an intensive 2 weeks of chemo and then went into remission, but now, 11 years later, it has returned). i don't want you to worry. he will be fine. he will fight it and he will win. you shouldn't worry. when i was in 5th grade i didn't really understand cancer, i didn't feel like i had solid support system and i didn't really know how or who to tell. on a selfish note i am glad that it came back at a time when i had an amazing support group. they hold my hands and hug me while i sob in the cafe. they check in and send supportive messages. they're so amazing. i am surrounded by such fabulous people who have such big hearts. i'm scared. i think it's ok to write that here. i'm scared. but we won't worry. he'll be fine. i'll be fine. hold your breath and wait it out and everything will be ok.
