So.

My dad was transferred to the larger hospital yesterday evening. Today tests revealed he has bone cancer. He will be getting dialysis and then chemo.

Doctor feels he is a good candidate for this treatment to work, however if it doesn't we are looking at 2-3 months max...

Merry fucking Christmas

Oh no I’m so sorry to read this. Prayers your way

Thank you.

I knew it wasn't good news when my brother called to say the doctor wanted to talk to my mom and dad together.

Its hard to think he has cancer when hes been a damn bull all his life. So strong, and stubborn.

All we can do is hope the dialysis and chemo gets him better.

I'm so sorry it wasn't better news Dragn.

Sending you prayers and hugs.

I'm so sorry DragnHeart.

Oh, Dragn, what awful news.

Stubbornness is an asset in a big fight, so I bet it will help him kick cancer's ass.

Dragon, prayers to you and your family.

Dragn, I’m so sorry.

I lost my mom to cancer last year and it just sucks.

Fuck Cancer!

Thank you all.

Fuck cancer is right!

Its a total shock!

With everything that happened with my mom we worried she would pass long before he did. Now this.

And whats weird is that ALL the men in my family have passed before the woman. All of them. All of my uncles. My grandfathers.

I contacted my one cousin yesterday. Her father passed of cancer last year.

I haven't told my kids yet. They know Papa is in the hospital but don't know about the cancer.

And while wh is trying to be supportive i just want him to stay away from me.

((((Drgn))))

That sucks. Has he been in pain? Or is he just so stubborn he refuses to feel it.
Take care, make sure you are being kind to yourself during this time too.

Oh Dragn, I'm so sorry. I hope the treatment is successful. Hugs to you all!

That's awful DH. I hope you guys are able to band together and comfort each other during the holidays. Cancer sucks. Hopefully your dad has good success with the chemo and goes into remission. I will keep you guys in my prayers.

Cancer bites. Sending mojo that he beats it. (((DragnHeart)))

I am so very sorry. Like Tush says, don't forget to take care of yourself.

Has he been in pain? Or is he just so stubborn he refuses to feel it.

The main problem he has had over thr past few years is his lungs. Doctor said he had asthma. He developed breathing problems after having worked at the egg farm.

He has always had sore/painful legs. He had them crushed by a huge roll of paper when he worked at the printing company eons ago. So him saying his legs hurt was not a new thing.

My mom gave me the extension to his room so i coukd call him. Spoke for about 30 minutes before the nurse came to get him. Only now they are putting in a shunt for dialysis. Can they take any longer to get this shit going...

He sounds awful. He says its hard to eat because everything tastes bad.

He didnt mention anything about the cancer. Just that his kidneys arent working. Not sure if hes in denial about that or doesnt think i already know.

My mom isnt sleeping like she should. My brothers are making sure shes eating and drinking. Shes got thr year end financial shit for the court stuff for my aunt since she is court appointed care taker, whatever its called. Luckily she has all thr required paperwoek organized and is just waiting on bank statements. So she is extra stressed.

Ive got shit going on here that has left me feeling like im spinning. My brother is in total shambles, just a wreck that i worry he will do something stupid.

Ugh!

I'm so sorry to hear that you and your family are going through this - and so glad your father is finally in a hospital with the resources he needs. It's so difficult to deal with stubborn family and slow/incompetent medical systems. I hope that the doctor has finally come up with an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan, and that his positive view about your dad's ability to respond is correct. Sending love and support to you all.

Oh Dragn,

Sorry that I'm just seeing this. I'm sooooooo sorry! Definitely sending prayers for your Dad, you, and your family.

I haven't heard anything today yet.

I have to go out to do grocery shopping and pick up the last of the Christmas gifts and I'm just not in the mood.

Im trying to keep it together for the kids and stay all happy but all i want to do is crawl into bed.

My brothers were able to go see dad, one at a time. The first brother got us on a video call so dad and i could see and talk to each other. All my kids were able to say hi too.

Dad has had three rounds of dialysis and goes for a bone biopsy Monday. He has colour but still looks worn out. Also his voice isnt what it was.

It was nice to speak with him and i think he enjoyed it as well.

Heres hoping he can be home for Christmas.

I'm really sorry, what awful news. You and your dad are in my thoughts and prayers
