Im nervous about tomorrow. I may explode

[Moparal]

I have been at the hospital all day today with my dad in pre op.  His brain tumor is 2 inches big. It has affected his hearing, speech, judgment, balance and memory.  He has a 30% chance of living tomorrow.  I have been glued on his side. 2 of my brothers came down from Indiana to help me out, but they don't know my dad as much as I do. they only come down for 3 days every other year or so.


If he ever needed a guardian angel, he needs it now.  His surgery is tomorrow. I check him in at 8 am.  I will be glued to his side and room.  he has been plagued with colon and prostrate cancer last year in remission, had testicle cancer and was removed, had to get a pacemaker, had 40% OF HIS RT LUNG REMOVED 2 MONTHS AGO AND NOW THIS. I am blessed he is still here with me.


Please keep my dad in your thoughts for us tomorrow.

Alan,
One of my cousins had a brain tumor removed that was the size of a softball about ten years or so ago. She lost some hearing in one ear & has a slight lisp.

Hopefully your dad comes through just fine, I will keep him in my thoughts for sure.

Hugs!

My father-in-law had a brain tumor and they gave him 6 months, he had 2 operations and he was with us for 6 more years. Hope your father has the same good fortune.

  To your dad Al. It's most difficult. I visited my mother every week, thankfully we lived realitively close by. The last time as I kissed her goodbye I whispered to her that we loved her and if her personal struggle was too difficult it was OK to just let go and go home. She passed away peacefully during the night while sleeping. Peace and rest was hers and we are now starting to accept her passing nine months later. I hope you and your dad have a few years more at least together and hopefully that time however long will be in comfort and encouragement for each of you.
