Both of my parents were diagnosed with cancer in October. My dad has pancreatic cancer and is going through chemo. My mom has breast cancer and just had her second operation (lumpectomy & mastectomy).
Of course I freaked out when they first told me. I am confident my mom is going to make it through this (although she has other health issues....one thing at a time). My dad, on the other hand, I do not have such confidence in him recovering. He’s in for 6 months of chemo, and it may not work. Surgery is not an option right now
I love my mom and am helping her through it all. She’s only told 2 people, me and my aunt, her sister, who has also had breast cancer. My mom does not want to tell my siblings. Yes, I know there will be hurt and anger when they are told, but it’s not my decision to make.
But really, I don’t have any concern for my dad. Emotionally, my relationship with him died 2 1/2 years ago. I tried to reconnect with him only to be told no, he would not see me. I keep trying only to be rejected again and again.
I don’t have anyone to talk to about this, and that’s why I’m posting.
2020 is a clusterf*ck dumpster fire and 2021 can’t get here fast enough.
