We visited with the doctor today. He told us my dad has Stage IV Colon Cancer that has spread to his kidney, adrenal gland, liver, and lymph node(s). They are not going to operate since the cancer has spread so much. A biopsy is scheduled for Friday to "prove" to the insurance company that it is 100% cancer.
My dads options are to either fight it without chemo/radiation and they can dope him up so he is pain free until he dies or he can take chemo/radiation and fight it that way. This is all just to much to handle. I can't even imagine my life without my father. I just have to keep telling myself that he is going to beat it and be with us for a long time.
After Friday we will know when he starts treatment and what treatment means.
I am in such denial and shock!
