my dad (i mentioned in another thread a few weeks ago that he has cancer) went back and was admitted to the hospital today again. things aren''t looking so great. :/ even with the chemo his doctor is giving us only a few months. he''s lost/is losing so much weight! (has very little appetite..it''s hard to figure if it''s all the disease & chemo or if it''s depression & his pain killers too/..probably a blend of the above) and is very weak.
the drs. are now trying to figure out if the stress of the chemo is even worth the dip in quality of life left. he had surgery last summer but when they went in the found that the cancer had already spread to his liver, stomach and lower lungs.
so, today his dr. said if there''s no improvement soon they''ll just stop treatment. My mom is doing really awesome considering everything(they have/had a business too). I''m just feeling spaced-out with a huge lump in my chest(it''s been like this a little for awhile but now it''s worse... the visit today felt so hopeless). It''s so weird too because I''ve never had anyone close to me so sick like this. i guess i''ve been fortunate until now.
i''m helping and trying to be upbeat as much as possible but there''s that feeling of uselessness that there''s nothing I/we can do to get him back to health.
I''ll appreciate any positive thoughts/energy and prayers for my dad! TIA
Best, k
