My dad has a mass on bladder and kidney not functioning

Yeah its sad. But the doc told him ahead of time he believed it was cancer but had to be sure. The support and prayers and answers to questions are more than enough i receive from you all! Dad gets tired more easily and that makes sense. Hes just waiting on what steps to take next
He’s currently thinking about my mom who just got an mri for her stomach and is concerned about those results prob get some info on both monday- hoping news is not so bad. Thanks for your concern we’re all just pressing on😊

@formydad I like that your dad's doctor is realistic, and upfront with information. I have found that to be a great comfort, even when the news or message may not be what we want to hear. I wonder if the stomach issues with your mom may be related to stress and all the emotion of your dad's health journey? If so, that would be certainly expected! I am glad you have chosen to share with us. You are helping others by expressing yourself and all that goes along with your role in your folks' health concerns.

@formydad I don't really know much about your struggles, they are different from what I have been through, but we are all thinking of you and your parents and hoping for the best. To have both parents dealing with health issues at the same time has to be very difficult and exhausting. Take care of yourself too. You can't be there for them if you don't.
