Just a sad day
Earlier today we found out that the cancer my dad was diagnosed last week with, Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma, is the aggressive form. We will learn the stage tomorrow but they know it's advanced, because all his lymph nodes in his body were enlarged. They said he can either do chemotherapy every month, outpatient, or not treat it..That alarmed me. Just not treat it???
I guess their idea is that Bec his immune system is so low being already a stroke victim and MS patient, the chemotherapy can cause many adverse side effects that will make him worse. But I'm going in to visit tomorrow and really push for him to get treatment. He's already said weeks ago when he was starting to feel ill," just let God's will take over"..I know he could very well just say, let's not do chemo.
I've been sad all day because while we we were not close, he was very selfish and watched me suffer so much under abuse, he is still my dad , and I had more positive times with him than i ever did my "mom". The social worker was already discussing palliative care.
It's a lot to take in..😟
