    Default Update on Step-Dad, and view on Life

    Well as some of you read in my last post, my step-dad has a bad case of stomach cancer. Thursday they did a biopsy and found he had ulcers on his stomach and around his intestine area. Monday afternoon they were going through with the surgery to remove his stomach and part of his intestines. I'm sitting at work and about 3:20 I get a phone call from my mom. She is crying hysterically saying that they couldn't do anything for John. Apparently the cancer spread so fast from his stomach to every other organ in his body since Thursday.

    So now he is laying in a hospital bed, not really getting a general understanding of what is going on. He keeps talking about not wanting to die and how he is too young. He wanted to see his kids at least grow up and get married (they are only 8-9). 39 years old and this may be his last couple of months to enjoy what he wants to do in life.

    What is sad is it takes something like this for people to actually come together. People he hadn't talked to in forever called him and came to see him. It's sad that it takes this much for me to say, Life is too fucking short. Sometimes it's best not to burn any bridges and get along with everyone because you never know what is going to happen anymore.

    Sorry I had to get it off my chest, I am really sad. Granted this is my step-dad, but I cannot imagine if it was my Mom or Dad. You guys probably won't see me for awhile since I'll be taking care of my mom through this ordeal. Just please give a prayer or two or keep John in your thoughts. I am going to try and give him a good time for whatever time he has left.

    Patrick mang I am sorry to hear this. Just stay real close to your Mom and step dad. That is the best thing you can do right now. I lost my Dad last year to leukemia so I know what your Mom is going though. It will not be easy but if you need to talk or anything dont hestitate to call me. You can find my number on the PVS phone list.

    Sorry to hearthat Pat. Make the time left with him count. I had to go through this time when my father was diagnosed with lung cancer. One of the hardest things I have ever went through. But we bonded closer in those 4 months than we had in 21 years.

    Im sorry to hear about that news man, but there is always a glimmer of hope, i work for an health insurance company and we deal with cancer as well, seen alot of people pull thru even tho it has spread, i know there is acancer center in atl, if possible see how much info you could get on that ( sorry i dont have any info on that tho) but if you want, you can go to www.aflac.com
    there will be a section for agents, just put your zip code in, call teh # they provide and ask him/her about the cancer center in atl, they should have waay more info then i have, hope it helps atleast a little.

    i know you love my swagger

    Thanks everyone, I really appreciate all the nice comments. The doc gave him two options today. He can live for about 3 months or he can go into chemo and live close to a year. I guess we'll see what he wants to do.
