well, its not as bad as implied, dad is just really tired and stressed from taking care of mom.

she has stage 4 ovarian cancer, which has spread to lower intestines, liver, spleen, stomach, lungs. Its also squeezing around a kidney, essentially making it useless.

dad is not in a support group. he's keeping busy with taking care of mom. I know that I'm not a fan of support groups, and I'm fairly certain that he won't either.

I'm doing alright, since its happening kinda slowly, I'm able to deal with each step along the way.

wow, i feel for you while you go through this time. cancer is a hard, ugly thing to experience and my heart goes out to you. take care of yourself and don't forget that cancer may take life from us, but it can't steal our memories of happier times.

hugs... kiss kiss
