Would you care?

My dad's been in the hospital nearly two weeks. He had a lung infection and then they found swollen lymph nodes in his body, so took a biopsy. We are waiting to see if it's cancer, (non Hodgkin's lymphoma)which unfortunately they said it does look probable..😟

I bought him a small gift on the second day he was in there. They were not expensive, two little heart and bear figures...he protested to any gift in an abrasive way at first. I told him not to worry they did not break the bank. He knows I'm unemployed. But my mom said today he was offering to give one of them to a nurse. I don't know, it made me feel low. But I do overthink sometimes. Would you care Really, or just brush it off?

So sorry to hear the news Coral. My dad has non Hodgkin's lymphoma also. I think he had chemo done years ago and it went into remission, then I heard maybe within the last 15 years that it came back but didn't hear anything since then.

Regarding the gift, he is most likely wanting to show his appreciation to the nurses/staff who've helped him, but if my niece bought me gifts like that, you best believe in holding onto those lol.

Hope your Dad gets better soon 🙏

@twiigss Oh wow, sorry your dad has that as well. I'm assuming it was a lower stage? We are going to find out soon if it is indeed cancer, and the stage. Despite my disdain for what he did in my life , I really hope it's clear. Ty my friend 🌻
