So.
From what I hear, my Tito has two tumors the size of almonds in his head, and cancer in his chest. They don't know if it's terminal, but my Aunt Imelda thinks it is, and that Tito's not saying anything because.. well, because that's how the men in this family are, I guess. She said he went to the funeral home right after he got out of the hospital. The second hospital, mind. Since the first one he went to, in Eagle Pass, said "NOTHING WRONG WITH YA' :D" but they're known for not telling people when they're dying. He's going to go back to the hospital to try and get a referral to a specialist in San Antonio.
I'm not too upset yet, mostly because it's been years since I've seen him and I'm not very close to a lot of my dad's family, but I know it's not going to be easy on Saturday, when we go to visit.
Mostly I'm just pissed that it's cancer, again. My mom lost her dad to it, my great aunt Carmen died because of it, and we've had a couple of scares between my mom and I.
Military service, bad tempers, and cancer!
Fantastic family legacy.
