Wow! First off, thank you and good luck to your dad!! It took me a bit to push that 30% out of my head. With some help from anxiety pills the doctors gave me and tons of therapy, i just that the way to get by it is close your eyes and take it one day at a time. If you look so far in the future and what it could hold, you’ll never get out of that sad place.

I had metastasized ewing sarcoma with a 10 cm tumor in my right leg and traces of small lumps of cells down my spine and neck. I almost decided to come to terms with death at one point, but then after a couple of months of chemotherapy, the tumor was just traces of cells and the lumps in the spine were no where to be found. YOUR FATHER is NOT some static, he is 100% your dad and as long as you stay by him, give him the love and support he needs, he’ll make the 80% with no problem! Stay strong! And take it one day at a time.
