Update on Dad, for those who care to know       09/10/06 06:41 AM Edit Reply Quote atomic rose Reged: 06/01/04 Posts: 7013 Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!) Well, I got back on Thursday from a week and a half down in NJ, spending time with my dad. I'm so glad I went, and got to be with him for a while before he gets sick and weak, but don't be fooled for a second - it was hard. So hard that all I've done for the past 2 days is sleep and gorge myself on bad food. I know I'm not coping well, but I don't know what else to do. The doctors have found spots/tumors on his stomach, esophagus, liver, pancreas, left lung, spleen. The stomach/esophagus tumor is definitely cancer. He had a PET scan on Thursday that will hopefully show that the rest of it isn't cancer, but I'm really afraid to get my hopes up too much. They're starting him on chemo ASAP. His doctors are all very optimistic that he'll pull through this just fine. That makes him feel better, which is good, because keeping HIM positive and optimistic is so important. I, on the other hand, don't trust doctors as far as I can throw them, so I'm just plain worried. Constantly, night and day. Thanks for all the good thoughts and wishes and whatnot... it's comforting to know that so many people are pulling for him - that kind of energy's gotta count for something! *hugs* to everyone!
