Would we know??????

Less than one minute read time.
Well a week has whizzed by after my dads lung cancer dx and what a emotional week it's been. The mind is very good at creating haunting thoughts and I find myself playing our what will happen in the next few weeks :( Every day I seem to have new questions, and I know in time they will be answered but for now they rage in my head and invade my mind. Is there a way to know if the cancer has spread? Is it possible it could have spread to other areas without causing symptoms there? Could my daddy seem normal today and not be with us in a few weeks? I don't want them to tell my dad it's terminal I HATE that word I fear that word I don't understand how nothing can be done :( I don't understand how cancer can spread yet cause no other symptoms I guess I just don't understand
