Thank you so much to every SINGLE person who posted something in this thread. All of your support really means so much and somehow makes me feel a lot less alone right now.
Im feeling totally drained of energy. Although I guess I am doing a little better today but the past few days..they were just hell. I have been grieving and in shock & just couldn't stop crying. Everything reminds me of my dad. I was out on Sat. and everytime I saw a child with their dad I started crying. I was in the grocery store and all the father's day stuff made me so emotional I started crying and had to just go home.
I leave tomorrow to go to St.Louis and will be staying for a week. I want to make sure I spend father's day with him. My dad is doing so much better. He was moved to a larger hospital who has a specialist. They finally took him off the morphine so I've bee able to actually have conversations with him these past few days which made me feel so much better. He was even flirting with the nurse while I was on the phone with him telling her she was pretty and that she had a nice smile which must mean he's feeling a little better.
They still don't know exactly what is wrong 'they' (the doctors) are still waiting for the results of the MRI he had yesterday but so far they have diagnosed him with Bile duct cancer and there was also a tumor in his gallbladder which they removed. They are also now saying that he did in fact have gallstones. And that what he has is very slow growing which means it's been there awhile.
They keep telling my mom different things everyday because nobody's sure exactly what else is wrong yet so I'm a little confused right now about what he has and what he doesn't. I'm glad I'll be able to go to the hospital myself and talk to someone who can hopefully clear everything up.
They still don't know if it has spread or not. I really don't want to get my hopes up yet. I'm a nervous wreck but this is a huge lesson to me to appreciate those I love more and to let them know how much I love them.
I'm just so glad I get the chance to spend time with him but sad that it's under these circumstances.
I guess I will find out more as the week progresses. I will let you guy's know when I find out more. Again, Thank you all for your kind words. It's amazing how much better I feel after reading all your post's. I know it took me awhile to update everyone because I was just so tired, but jaizaine, I read what you wrote to me before I went to bed a few nights ago and you really made me feel so much better thank you for that. the next morning I woke up to what you posted Djoser and it was so sweet & comforting so thank you as well.
Lola, thank you for your wonderful post as well it was filled with so much sympathy and you managed to lift my spirits a lot.
And Alexxa your post was beyond sweet I read it the other night when I was so down. it really meant the world to me at the moment to read such kind and genuine words from you.
Really everyone here is so wonderful. I really just want to just thank every single one of you personally right now and if I wasn't so out of it I would. Every post I read made me feel better. I am so grateful for the support of all you guys. Thank you for being here for me right now.
Southsbabe-Just got your PM. I will write you back as soon as I post this.

I believe you Dottie and you have my support





Great idea to spend more time with your dad. It must be frustrating not to know exactly what the situation is yet. I have heard of someone having bile duct cancer before.
My thoughts are with u and your family.![]()
