Just had the worst phone call of my life

my dad suffers terminal stomach, lung, neck, adrenal cancer, it took a few weeks for the shock to settle in, he was diagnosed in august 09 as inoperable and termnal, they called it metastatic , they told him to enjoy his wedding anniversary ( nov 22nd, day after my birthday) and that anything beyond that was a bonus... its december 10 now and hes still fighting strong, tumours have shrunk now by around 40-50% around his body except the adrenal glands, stomacj, lung and neck tumours have calcified, what ever that means. lost so much weight, but hes due to go for a major op to remove his adrenal glands on the 14th, so this could be lifechanging, i understand what your going through op, so if you ever need to talk, im here pal.
 
Shes off for a CAT scan with dye (contrast agent) via intravenous in a bit, to see how far the tumor has progressed in her larynx.
 
Truly horrible to hear this :(

Just enjoy as much time together as you can and have as much fun this xmas as you can!
 
I'm so sorry to hear that :( I wish your mum all the best, and my thoughts are with you and your family.
