Sorry to hear CC. Thoughts are with you and your family. Cancer indeed sucks...
My Dad went to the hospital this past NYE (his 59th birthday) because he had been constipated for a few days and he was starting to swell up. A few hours later he was diagnosed with liver cancer that had already spread to his stomach and lymph nodes. He's only got a couple weeks left.
This is certainly the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with in my life. A month ago it was Christmas Eve and I was visiting with him and my step-mom and just so happy to be home with my family. Now I've spent the past 3 weeks helping him eat and cleaning him, and knowing it's only going to get worse from here on out.
It's truly amazing how quickly these things can happen. I can tell you one thing, I'll never take anyone in my life for granted again, that is for sure. In the blink of an eye, I went from having 20ish years left with my Dad, to 20ish days.
Anyway, thanks for this thread... it's always nice to know there are other people out there who have gone through what we are now. Even if it sucks that anyone has to experience it in the first place.
My inbox is open if you ever want to swap some stupid doctor stories
