Im really writting here today to thank everyone for the support and answering and questions ive had when ive been confused, especially as you are goung through this too, be it supporting someone or fighting this *** battle yourself.
my dad has colon cancer, spread to his liver. 10 days ago tomorrow he had the tumour removed in his colon and a stoma bag fitted, that aline has been a struggle for him, they also removed 17 lymph nodes during his op. He had his oncology appointment today and has been told he now needs a PET scan due to how aggressive his cancer was to check for floating cancer cells and to check the mass in his luver hasnt grown. After this he will go through 12 weeks chemo with an op on his liver too. The type of chemo will depend on if he has floating cells/if its attached elsewhere etc. The doctor told him he has 60% chance it will come back maybe not colon but somewhere it else, this crushed him which crushed us too. Hard to explain but my dads 61 and a mans man haha if we say love you, he says ta but thats his love u back so to see him cry well, it was heart breaking. He said his not scares if dying and whats the point in him doing everything and still it comes back. Today was just a bad day, his sunce perked up changed his mindset again started eating and said his going for a walk tomorrow.
i guess im writting this because one im grateful for all the support but two, its ok to have a bad day, to feel like enough is enough, its ok to not be ok and i hope i cant be of mych support to someone here as you have been to me.
i dont know you, but you are my friend too xxxx
