weegegirl 2 #1 April 14, 2005 Just got home from work to hear something I never wanted to hear. My Dad turns 84 on the 20th of this month. My sister just informed me that he has been diagnosed with cancer. Took my breath away. Not sure how bad bad is just yet. They tried removing it, but apparently it's a lot worse than they thought and so he's going to have to start some big long shit now. F*ck me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbordson 8 #7 April 14, 2005 I am so sorry to hear... not much else to say. Cancer is mean. Be strong in front of him cuz he needs your support and love; cry and scream with your friends cuz you need their support and love. Went through dealing with cancer with my dad, (God rest his soul). It sucks. Take care of yourself and remember to breathe... Life can be just that simple..... Hugs (the long firm strong ones) Karen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weegegirl 2 #14 April 15, 2005 thanks, guys. it helps to hear so many kind and supportive words right now. i know that nobody gets to choose when/where/how to deal with sick parents, but i just wasn't really ready to hear this. he's 84, but i guess i just never thought anything would happen. just trying to breathe right now.

weegegirl 2 #23 April 15, 2005 Sorry to hear that. It's amazing how many people have been in my shoes. Not a very comfortable place to be at the moment. The good thing is, and some of you have met my family and know this, my family is tight. Really tight. I'm the youngest of many. We're also a pretty strong family. I know that we will pull each other through whatever lays ahead of us. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I've been talking to the man upstairs a lot tonight. What will be will be. If I live to 84 with as much amazing life experience as that man, I will have lived a very fullfilling, very happy life. God bless him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get too discouraged... depending on the cancer, the progression, his current health... he might still make it to 94 or beyond. Even if it's out of your hands.... don't let it be out of your hope. Sometimes it's all you have left. Keep it with your heart. Karen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
