Ya im reading through the responses on the other thread of stupidity i posted yesterday but i thought i should let you know ....
lets see they say deffinete tumor or cancer in his prostate ... deffinite tumor in 1 kidney.. and just minute traces of cancer in his bones....
i hear thier operable..... so thats good news I thought he was stage 4? isnt that defined as cancer that spreads to distant sites ?
now sounds like hes 3- or 4 on the scale .... They will zap him with radiation or chemo.. I think hes still 90 miles away in the tri cities .. Richland,Kenniwick,Pasco....
seeing a oncologist and whatnot... he will have a brutal road ahead of him... much worse then anything i got going on ..... but hopefully he manages or bares the side effects well...
I dont know too much about radiation or chemo side effects but i will research it...... then theres the financial aspect .....even with good insurance I bet it will be expensive ...least they cant touch your retirement or 401Ks.... He is 59 as of 7-29-14 born 1955 ...... makes you wonder how it got ther ??? hes always had high blood pressure and stress... never drinks... he does chew tobbaco... So your guess is as good as mine as to how it got thier or how long its been there....... Anyway thanks for responding and theres a update.....
P.S I write post on this forum because i do indeed want to hear your thoughts.... on subjects... I may dissagree but knowing how you feel can indeed influence my decsions or at least arm me with possible consequences.... We all believe it or not help each with knowledge Experience and our own perspectives... so never think what you think dosent matter Cause does :)
Have a good Wednesday sorry for all the damn typos and spelling mistakes haha I blame the keyboard :)
