Dad is unwell again. The cancer has grown back, faster and more aggressive than before. His liver is still enlarged. In the last week the weight has dropped off him. He looks jaundiced. He is in pain a lot.
He never did take the herbal treatments again; he said they made him feel worse. My sisters and I are disappointed that he stopped taking the Essiac. The doctors are very gloomy (as usual) and I'm getting the impression they think he doesn't have long.
He is in his sixties - that's not old! My granddad lived till he was almost 90. My son won't remember him if he goes now, but I get the impression he has given up. I am hoping that having family round him, especially granchildren, will help to inspire him.
I haven't seen him yet - I am taking Will to visit this morning. I am bracing myself. Everyone else is telling me it will be a shock because he has changed so much, even in the past couple of days.
If you can spare a moment - pray for him please - it seemed to work last time! Send him strength. Please don't spare any good vibes for me or my family... if you have a good thought in your heart send it to my Dad. He deserves it, he really is the best man I know, I attribute everything good about me to my Dad and the way he brought us up as children and inspired us.
I will post later after my visit. Thank you for reading.
