Well, dad had his appointment on Wednesday, and it is confirmed he has cancer, so far the lump in his lung that was detected is only 3cm. He had his PET scan today, and we will have to wait until either Monday or Tuesday for the results.. I do feel better now that the initial shock has gone, but still very sadden over this.
When growing up, my dad and I were to alike, so we were always at odds, or just didnt talk to each other much.. I got married and moved out at 18.. things were okay, but not very close.. I had my first daughter at 22, and after that things got so much better, then when my daughter was about 9 months, he had a small heart attack... I turned out good, and since then he has been the picture of health, always active and doing things, my mom and him are avid golfers they retired about 9 yrs ago and have been in California ever since.. come up for summer visits.. We have been close ever since the heart attack, which is only 16 short years... So I am keeping my fingers, toes and everything else crossed in hopes that that was the only tumor in his body..
Does anyone know if they tell you anything at all after the PET scan, or do you have to wait till the dr appt..? Just curious.. thanks everyone.. you are a very inspiring bunch of people...
