Eric DNO's blog: "Bad News"

A couple of you are aware that my father has been undergoing treatment for cancer, specifically lymphoma. Last week, we had to put him back in the hospital for dehydration and disorientation. A CAT scan was ordered because he'd fallen, and something was detected on his brain, so he underwent an MRI and spinal tap. Today the results are in, and they're not good. The growth on his brain is carcinoma, a far more aggressive form of cancer. It would still be treatable if it were more lymphoma, but with carcinoma, there's no point. The only treatment he's getting now is to be made comfortable. The doctors are talking in terms of days, not weeks or months.
