My family knew Dad wasn't feeling well again and there was no reason not to expect his cancer to be back but when you get the knews it's still feels like a kick in the teeth (even if he's 86). I had left instructions with the Dr. to call me instead of the folks because I didn't want Mom to have to handle any bad news by herself. But when the Dr. called and said it wasn't good news -well, my stomach just sank - the cancer (originating from prostate) has invaded his back and hip bones and his kidneys are failing. My brother and sis in law will be here Monday (from WA) and we'll have an appt with the Dr. to make plans with hospice. I kind of doubt he'll make it to June1st ( my daughter's wedding). He's headed to the ultimate wedding of the Groom (Jesus) and His Bride (the church) as we all are as believers!!
Am doing well with the food, still having a hard time fitting in as much exercise as I'd like. I think I better switch my workout times to the mornings before work.
Thanks for all your prayers, loving support and best wishes!!
I've lost both my parents to cancer, Mom in 2002 age 67 and Dad 2005 age 76. My heart is still broken, and I get that same feeling whenever I see a friend going through the same thing. I will pray for a peaceful journey for the entire family.
So sorry that your family has to experience such a dreadful and heartbreaking illness. Try to keep your life as normal as it is possible to do so, normalicy helps you make it through each day.
