My dad is 76 years old and he found out that he had Klatskin Cancer about one and half year ago. He had half of his liver removed but the day before yesterday the doctor told us that the cancer came back and he only has two weeks to live. I am so devastated. He did not know anything about it. Today, he was released from the intensive care unit and return to his room in the hospital.
I am so sorry that you received such terrible news about your dad. We want and expect the medical field to handle all problems that afflict us and our loved ones but sometimes, it is just not possible. Without finding his initial cancer when they did, you would not have had the past 1 1/2 years with him. Try to focus on that and the precious time you have with him. My husband, age 60 had a liver resection last year and the doctors feel strongly that it will come back. A re-section is not a cure for liver cancer, just a way to buy more time. I will pray for you and your father. Be strong!
