I spoke with my parents this morning, first with my mom. We were chit chatting about this and that, then she says "well I don't think your dad told you, but the Dr. has found some possible cancer cells in your dad's prostate". For a minute her words sounded like "blahh blah blah" (that's the best way I can describe it). I was trying to absorb everything all at once. Then it seemed that in a matter of seconds it had all kicked in.
She went on to explain that they are looking into different treatment options. They give me the different options and I have already done some research on the internet. He does not have full blown cancer, the Dr. just noticed two "strange" spots on his prostate and wants him to take care of it as soon as possible.
I tried to fight back the tears while I was listening to my mom, but of course it was impossible. This is MY DAD we are talking about. And how weird that I just wrote a blog about Fathers.
I spoke with my Dad and he sounds fine and upbeat. I asked him if he was feeling okay, and he said "mija I feel fine I don't feel pain or anything as a matter a fact I feel like I am 20 years old, I've been working on the garden, and I will be going to go to work in a few hours". Even after everything my dad does not loose his sense of humor, which keeps me optimistic. This is the biggest health scare we have gotten, and I hope we all pull through as a family.
There is so much going on in my head right now. I wish I could be there with my parents to help or simply to be there with them. Once we find out when my dad will get the treatment, I plan on flying out there. I want to leave CA knowing that my dad is going to be okay. It is so true that when stuff like this happens you tend to forget all the senseless BS of everyday life. All I really care about right now is my dad's well being and that all this works out.
Please keep my dad in your prayers because those of you that know me well, know that I am extremely close to my Father and I want nothing more than for him to get through this. I need him to stick around for a loooooooong time!!

I'm so sorry to hear this, but like you said it's not full blown and doing your research is the key to everything (at least though our experience). Stay positive like your dad is, he needs everyone's support right now. Your family will be in my prayers.
Thank you Minerva! We should find out this week when my dad is going to start his treatment. I'm optimistic that we will get through this.
Belen, your father and family are definitely in my prayers! I haven't signed in in a while now and just saw this. Stay strong and have faith. I pray that God may completely restore your father's health and may he give you and your mother strength and peace!
