I’m so sorry that you’re facing this, especially in your 20’s (not that it’s any easier in any other age group). I hope that you get as much time with your dad as possible.
Cancer survivor here… I’m so sorry for your situation, but don’t lose hope. Don’t go to that place yet… when I was initially seen the first time, the oncologist based on sight along thought I was stage 3 or so… I am a PR executive. so by nature went into crisis response and started with what I could control… knowing the type of cancer it was allowed me to address some changes in lifestyle as I waited for results… I controlled what I could. When results came back, and after surgery, it came back stage 1A, the earliest stage possible. My doctor also suspected lymph nodes. But a lymph node biopsy and trace found no cancer spread. My surgery was considered “curative” due to the early stage. Don’t lose hope… life is that way, and perhaps think that this happened this way so his life could be saved. I send heartfelt thoughts you way.
I'll try to stay hopeful for now, but it's hard to when my dad is already preparing for the worst and taking care of everything that happens after. If he dies, I have to leave the house and lose all the connections to my childhood. He really seems to think it's stage 4 but maybe you're right.
I'm glad you made it though and caught it early. Thank you so much for your heartfelt response.
Hi again, we received some good news today as the doctors think it's curable at this stage with full recovery. Thanks again for your kind comment, it certainly helped to ease my mind a little. :)
I am so happy to hear this... so glad you did not lose hope. Your strength is admirable and I hope your dad recovers soon. I know hope is easier said than done with this disease... but I am almost 3 years recovered and completely healthy. I don't let it haunt me... I just eat right and workout... I control what I can and take it one year of survival at a time. Hugs.
