Praying For Strength

Aside from the very first post I wrote, this is prob going to just as hard if not harder.

Dad saw the oncologist last week & sadly, his blood work indicates that the cancer is advancing. The chemo pills he was taking are no longer helping.

The Dr wanted my father to go in for a cat scan & originally he said he would but he would only do the one where they inject the dye.
He didn't want to drink that stuff because it made him sick last time.
Without him doing the full test, the Dr wouldn't get an accurate report but she was willing to take whatever she could get.

Dad decided he no longer wanted to do anymore tests.
He doesn't want to see anymore Dr's.

I can't blame him.

He has fought so hard, for so long, enough is enough.

He is now receiving hospice care.
They are delievering a bed today.
A bed in the living room.

This is all happening so fast yet it also feels like slow motion.

I am terrified for the future.
I am scared as hell to imagine life without him
