just having a terrible day...

Okay - many of you may or may not know that my DAD was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 1/2 years ago - he underwent a mastectomy and chemo and came out after treatment way better than any of us expected. Then, earlier this summer we were over at their pool having a BBQ and I asked him about the red spots on his incision (it looked like it was just angry) He hadn't even noticed them. After a recheck they found out his cancer had all come back to the same spot as it was before treatment. So they began a new series of drugs and treatment. Monday he and my mom went to see how the new treatment was going and all of his cancer is larger and there were several new growths. My dad has been amazing through all of this, never being angry and all the while he has worn a smile. I on the other hand am not doing as well. so I'm just having a terrible pity party day - do me a favor and everyone check your husbands, SO, and sons -

{{Lolly}}, big huge hugs coming your way, I've been there, it's SO hard to be the grown up, isn't it? I well remember just wanting to be a kid again and have my daddy take care of ME, instead of the other way around.

(((Lolly))) I'll keep your Dad & your family in my prayers.

I saw Richard Roundtree (most famous for playing 'John Shaft' in the movie 'Shaft') on our local morning news show a couple of weeks ago talking about male breast cancer & the importance of doing what you said...check the men in our lives.

my prayers are with you, this is why I am working so hard for the American Cancer Society. Since Relay in Sept, and another fundraiser this month, my team has given them about $2,800. I'm so sorry about your dad, and pray for him to keep fighting and win his battle against cancer.
