Just when everything seemed to be going well and looking forward to Christmas the "C" word came up again. This time it was my dad announcing the news. In a cruel twist of irony my dad was just diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (the same cancer they thought Chris had).
So I am so sad my dad has to go through this but am grateful I already know a whole lot about lymphoma and know all the emotions my mom and dad are going through. I hope I can help them through this.
His diagnosis was quick. He went to the ER on a Sunday had some testing done on the following Tuesday, got the results on Thursday and even started his first round of chemo on that same Thursday.
My Dad is a total workaholic and always busy. It was hard for him to take some time off work and to feel too crummy to do much but sleep after the chemo. But he also has a lot of gusto and a great attitude and is doing well so far.
I had already resolved to do better at blogging. But now I have even more incentive. I need to keep up on my life so my dad can have something to look forward to while going through all this. So, here is to you dad!!!!! I'll keep the blogging coming.
