This is all I do now, apparently.
He got home from the hospital two days ago after being there for 2.5 weeks.
His diagnosis ended up being "peritoneal carcinomatosis, high grade neuroendocrine cancer of unknown primary" which I guess is all pretty rare and also pretty aggressive and terrible. He had a 3 day round of chemo at the hospital and he goes back for another 3 days later this month.
He is doing pretty terribly, he needs pretty much round the clock care and my mom and I are basically it. It's been miserable. He feels shitty, he's scared, he's angry, he's taking it out on those around him. I know it's normal but man, it's hard.
I am just so sorry. For you, your dad, your family - it's just a terrible situation and I'm sorry. I hope peace comes swiftly for all of you, and that your dad can be made more comfortable and have time to process all that's happening. Thinking only good thoughts for all of you.
I just want to second all of this, because Licia is more eloquent than I. I'm sending you lots of love.

I'm growing older but not up. My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck, let the winds of time blow over my head. I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead.
