something my mother decided to omit whilst giving me the news over the phone. Whilst I thought this tumour had been caught early, and therefore was fixable, apparently it is not.
The doctors have described it as 'a large, inoperable tumour' which for some unknown reason went undetected. The biopsy results will give us an 'X-amount time left to live'.
I wish it was me who had it, not him.

How's everything else going? We havn't talked in a while!
I've been in medicine for a while and I've never given anyone a "you have ____ to live" statement. Don't think they're worth much, and they're often wrong except in the very short term. Be here now. While he's here, he's here.
And, I know it's hard, but don't dive too deeply into thinking about what you might have done better. This was a trap I had to avoid when someone close to me died a while back. Consider it, learn from it, get back to, well, being here.
Just some thoughts, chica. Do with 'em what you will. take care...
