Can we just go back to last Wednesday?

Last Thursday my dad went in to see his doctor for back pain he had been having for several months.

His doctor took x-rays.

His doctor took one look at those x-rays, walked down to see a radiologist for a brief consult and then sent my dad for a bone scan the very next day.

On Saturday morning his doctor called to tell him how sorry he was that his life was going to change forever.

My dad’s doctor informed him that he has metastasized prostate cancer in his bones, from shoulders to femur to be exact.

After a full week of tests and consults and prodding and probing we now know that there is no cure for this. But there is treatment. And if the treatment works, hopefully we can spend a few more precious years together.
