Bad news...
Sep. 1st, 2019 11:43 pmMy dad has been diagnosed with lung cancer... At first I felt devastated (I still am) but now I'm in a place where I accepted the news and I just hope for the best. Since I've been the one receiving all the bad news and strikes over and over again with him for the past week, I'm quite used to it. I'm like the shield that gets all the impacts. But I'm doing well, surprisingly.
They said it has no cure, not 100%. We can only hope for him to react well to the treatment and to be able to live as much and as well as possible. That's not the worse we could get, but it's deffinitely not the best either.
All I know is some people get better and live with cancer for many, many years without problems. I hope my dad can do that. He's so not ready to go yet...
Long story short, I took him to the hospital because he couldn't talk properly or do anything, he didn't eat at all for the past month or so, he was just drifting away. Turns out cancer was making him miserable without anyone noticing, not even him. His sodium levels dropped really low due to the tumour, and that was causing him all of that plus he was reaching a state of sickness where he could have ended up in a coma... Luckily I decided to take him to the hospital in time to avoid that.
He's been there for a week now and is currently being examined for his cancer treatment. When they told us... we just didn't know what to do or say. But we are all trying to be positive and we hope he will have a chance to live many more years and get things done before he has to go, sadly.
Anyway, this is just a short update. I don't feel like explaining the whole thing and I'm also sorry if this triggers you in any way. This is pretty tough.
