Hi all!
I am in a fugue state right now because my dad got diagnosed with kidney cancer 2 weeks ago and within the past 2 weeks we found out it has spread to the liver, lungs and spine. He is getting radition to stabilize the spine but no treatment yet on kidney, lungs, liver or spine yet.
The doctors have said they will make a decision on whether or not he is a candidate for chemotherapy after the radiation treatment. Noone has given is a prognisis or said its terminal but I cant stop crying knowing how dire it all seems.
The worst thing is that dad is not grasping any of this at all. Even though he was in the same meeting as us where they talked about the spread he thinks he will be out in a few weeks and back to work.
Anyway, its all so heartbreaking and I just wish we understood the prognosis and that this could be communicated to dad so we could plan what may lie ahead. Hope you are all well and very nice to be a part of this community.
-Paul
