Sometimes things happen in life that we aren't prepared for even tho they take place every day. That situation is going on for me at this time and I do not know how much I will be on here for a bit. To my friends, my dad is still completing tests to see what we are dealing with exactly, but a large mass was found in his right lung, other masses in both lungs, on several ribs, spots on his spine and spleen, masses in soft tissue of right hip and both chest walls, a mass in his left kidney and some abnormalities in his lymph nodes. He is in terrible pain. Yes, as a nurse I deal with this every day but it is a little different when it is your own family. So please know that if I don't immediately respond to comments, shouts, messages, etc, It isn't because I don't care about my friends and don't appreciate everything you send to me. It is just with work, taking care of my son, and now trying to work with my dad's doctors to get him comfortable and keep my step mom from freaking out; I don't have a lot of time for this site and my family has to come first. Please send out all the prayers that you can...We all will need them
