In april this year Mum told us her cancer had returned,which was a huge shock,so scans blood tests etc to estalish what could be done.As in 2007 Dad looked after her and took her to chemo and blood transfusions .Mum pointed out he had not been his usual self and sent him for a check up for wee troubles.Obviously all attention was on Mum and her cancer battle,so when Dad said he was fine that was that.Then the consultant decided to do a major op on Mum she really didnt want it but not having it was not an option.Imagine my shock when i get a call your Dad has prostate cancer..its advanced !!.stress or what but Mum and Dad were upbeat and he could have treatment.i looked on the internet and yes it appeared he could live for several years with this cancer.Mum meanwhile has had her chemo and awaits this big operation that if they take a peak inside may not be do-able.Then in aug a couple of weeks before the op Dad tells me he too has a rare cancer called small cell only 1 % of prostate cancer is this rare aggresive type,which is treated with chemo. sO HERE WE ARE mums had her op awaiting more chemo and could go into remission and Dad is having three lots of chemo every 3 weeks.I almost wish i hadnt seen 5 to 7 months on the internet for Dad its so cruel that they had plans for mums recovery but cant go away because of all the chemo they are having.Its true about the things you dont see coming Dad doesnt smoke and seemed relatively healthy ......
