..I've mentioned before that my dad has brain cancer, he had surgery a year ago and chemo for six months. His last two MRIs have been clear, but he had another one today and it showed some changes and they asked him to go immediately to see his oncologist.
This is upsetting news, but it is compounded by the fact that my dad is borderline irrational about his health situation. It was an uphill battle to get him to consent to surgery and treatment the first time around, and I am so afraid that he is just going to give up this time. He makes an already hard situation so much harder with his attitude and behavior.
So if you could think and pray for my dad and maybe even more for my mom today as she encourages and persuades him along to the doctor. He is so upset, and I don't blame him at all, but he is also not thinking clearly. (This is not an effect of the cancer, he has always been very irrational about his health problems.)
My sister is there, but at work today...my brother and I are here in Virginia, hours away from Ohio, so we are essentially helpless. This is so hard for us all.

Sending lots of prayers your way......
I'm sorry your going through this and I wish I had some words of wisdom, since my father in law was the same type of person in regards to his health. It broke my heart in more ways that I could have imagined to watch him with his health

I am so sorry. I have two loved ones who handle health issues as your dad does and it makes it tougher than it needs to be for everyone. Hugs to all.

I'm so sorry, Mystie. I understand a little of what you're going through. My dad has a terminal illness, and he's been a little unreasonable about some things. My mom is his primary caregiver and is under a lot of stress. I'm 12 hours away, so I know how hard it is to not be there.
I'll pray for them and for you and your siblings, too. You're all on a tough road.
