Subject: my dad
Date: 04/13/2007
In February this year, my dad was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of an unknown primary. He is stage 4 and it has spread to several areas: lungs, liver and spine. He was started on chemotherapy in March and received two treatments. On the day of his third treatment, the doctor ran some scans and blood work and stopped the chemo. He scheduled for hospice to start coming to my dad's home and help him control the pain. His liver is not functioning the way it is supposed to. They told him that if his liver improves that hospice would let them know and they mey re-evaluate him. They have given him 2-4 months survival. He is 56 years old. My parents will have their 35th anniversary in July and she is not doing well with this. She ids only 53 and never realized she could lose him so soon. He has begun making the funeral arrangements so we don't have to deal with it when the time comes. He says he is trying to stay positive. That he is planning to beat the 2-4 months by far but he continues to lose weight very quickly. I have a son 6 years and a daughter 8 months and I feel I being selfish because I want my daughter to be able to have memories of her own with him, not just what we tell her. I have to keep hope because that is the only thing that is keeping sane at this point. I am and have always been a daddy's girl. I don't have any idea on how to come to terms with this and am looking for some guidance or inspiration at this point.
