My dad is a brain cancer survivor, having had surgery, chemo, and radiation in 2015-2016. He's had a fainting episode, irregular heart rate, and some confusion the past few days. Mom took him to the ER this morning and a CAT scan indicates the cancer is back, on the opposite side of the brain this time.
He's had an MRI this afternoon and the neurologist and oncologist will be in to discuss the results tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, my mom and sister are camped out at this hospital an hour away from home with him. I'm nine hours away and will drive up if needed this week, but for now, I'm home.
This is such discouraging news, to say the least. Cancer is like the world's worst roller coaster, and we've all been on it such a long time. I'm not even sure Dad is lucid enough to make the decisions that will need to be made once we get the real facts tomorrow. If you could pray for my parents and all of my family, as I know so many of you have done in the past, we would really be grateful.

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

I am so sorry that you are facing this.
Hopefully your dad has made a power or directive of care, in case he cannot make the decisions. (( hugs ))

You can count on me for prayers for all of your family.
I hope your dad, with his medical team, can kick cancer's ass so he can enjoy many happy and healthy years with family and friends.
