duane_kcThose of you at Nikki's birthday party Tuesday know I was supposed to call my sister and Mom after I left that night. It's never good news when my sister calls me.
Well, I called back, and it wasn't good.
Dad has cancer in his chest, spine, pelvis, groin, and right hip. They've already determined that it's inoperable; it's actually affecting bone tissue.
We don't know for sure yet, but since it has metastatized so far, I'm betting that radiation and chemo are, at best, stopgaps.
I've been ignoring it for the last couple of days, because the more I think about it, the less I want to think about it, y'know?
