Dad didn't sugar coat anything when I talked to him today. He has cancer of the colon. That's what was causing his blood loss. He's currently leaning toward NOT pursing treatment. His internist said that without any treatment, the cancer could win in a month or ten years. He doesn't know.
Dad is seeing the surgeon who did his colon surgery seven years ago on Monday. Maybe something will change. Maybe not. I'm sad, but I totally understand.
The best part of today's story: My brother was having a bad day, and didn't want to drive over to Spirit Lake with Dad, so my mom's little brother, Uncle Bob, age 79, took them both over to see Dad's doctor.
