Cancer sucks

Cancer sucks pure and simple. I'm sure it's no surprise that I'm having a difficult time dealing with the roller coaster ride. My next visit up to the family cottage is tomorrow, and I'm scared because it was hard enough trying to keep the shocked expression off my face when I say my Dad last month, He has a year left at the most, and the way things are now, I think that's optimistic. He has started chemo and it has left him very weak. I'm trying to think of ways to spend time with him, but the present circumstances don't make it easy.

Not good news

My father's biopsy results are in, and the news isn't good. As the doctors initially suspected, he has stage 4 gallbladder cancer which has spread to his liver, so surgery is not an option. The next step will be a meeting with the oncologist to discuss possible options. This will take place on July 8th. I ask those of you who read this to keep my family and I in your prayers.
