I've made an ass of myself in another ng
I'm very sorry to hear that news. Mega purrs coming for your whole
family - especially your Mom who is having to shoulder an extra burden keeping this secret from your Dad. Unfortunately, I imagine my Mom would go through the same thing. She's a retired RN who wants to know exactly what to expect. Dad just wants to know what the Dr wants him to do - doesn't want to know long term prognosis or chances of full recovery. Just wants to know what does he need to do to have the best chance of recovery, and once he's told what that Dr wants him to do he becomes almost obsessed with doing exactly that. Dad has had two cancer scares - prostrate and some type of cancer which resulted in amputation of the end of his thumb. Really, his only concern is that he doesn't want to end up spending years in a nursing home like his Dad did for the last 20 years of his life.

So I hope everyone here will be a tad tolerant if I spout off when it's not um,,, appropriate. I'll try to contain myself. My offer to move down to the South Carolina low country still stands with my mom.
