@rlpostrp thank you for sharing. That's exactly what I would like to do -- spend more time with him. My dad is pretty optimistic for the most part, but my mom is in denial and is angry with the world. She couldn't believe someone lives as healthy as my Dad would get cancer and spread this widely. Every testing was a blow to her and us. But we are still actively seeking as much information as we can to make the most informed medical decisions.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Perhaps counselling or a support group could help her with her anger and denial.

There are trillions of cells in the human body. Sometimes one has a short-circuit and starts reproducing out of control. Most of the time the immune system catches it in time. Sometimes it doesn't. Then you have cancer.

You can tilt the odds slightly in your favour with a healthy lifestyle, but only slightly. It's not the person's fault. They didn't do anything wrong. It just happens.
