Yesterday, my father was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. He has been having confusion on and off for the last month or so. This weekend it became severe,with symptoms we thought might be a stroke. However, a MRI has revealed the cancer. He will go for another MRI on Friday and soon meet with an oncologist. Of course, this is on-top of the prostate cancer, diabetes, congestive heart failure, and kidney troubles he's already experiencing. The next couple of weeks will reveal more about the cancer, treatments, and realistic prognosis.
This unexpected news has prompted unexpected trips too. We leave Friday for Arkansas to meet my parents, brother, sister, and other family members who are converging on Van Buren this weekend. We hope to get legal issues in order, review insurance policies, and touch base with his doctors, if we can. Also, I think a lot of us just want to talk to dad before the cancer takes his mind. There's a lot to be said, and hopefully a lot to be forgiven.
If you're the praying type, I'd appreciate the prayers.
