my dad has cancer. a 1 centimeter tumor in his lung, 4 cm tumor in his liver, and a tumor in his colon.
i know nothing specifically about cancer or the medical field but i'm assuming this is pretty bad. he says it's treatable. problem is he lost his job a week ago and his medical insurance will cease to exist in thirty days.
he's optimistic which is good.
i feel bad, not only cause we don't have a any sort of relationship, but cause he's had a pretty sad life. i mean it was his own making, but still. it's sad that he doesn't see his other kids or grandkids, lives alone, lived in war torn ireland and saw too much death, etc. it's sad he's never really told anyone, me most importantly, about really anything in his life. i know nothing about him except that he's from ireland. oh and that he has cancer. him telling me about his cancer was the most i've heard from him in....forever i guess.
so i dunno how i feel. sad and angry would be the top two choices. sad cause it's just sad, angry cause he's never tried to be a dad. i want to be optimistic but it's just not working at all.
