My Dad's surgery is done. There was nothing the surgeon could do. Dad's riddled with cancer. He has two to three months to live. The surgeon is meeting with Dad and our family tomorrow afternoon to talk about options. He can insert a tube that will stop Dad from throwing up. Dad can choose to have chemotherapy which will prolong his life but cannot cure him. If he wishes to go home they will provide the home care supports he needs or he can stay in the hospital and be transferred to Paliative care. The surgeon says he can't fathom how Dad has been able to carry on the way he has with the amount of Cancer that's in his body. We saw Dad briefly after the operation and told him as little as possible, the nurse said he won't remember anything anyway. Afterwards I went over to wife's house to tell her and the kids. My brother and Mother went over to my sister's to tell her. He's had a great 79 years and now we have to pull together to make his last few months the best we can. Luv U Dad!
