well *** (total debbie downer post)
Zane just got off the phone with MIL. FIL started having pain in his knee and hip over Christmas. They went to the doc Monday, and the doc couldn't find anything wrong with his knee and scheduled an MRI for yesterday. We weren't expecting to hear results until they met with the doc again tomorrow, but she called and said that they found massive growths all over his knee and hip. They haven't run any tests on them, but the doctors have already told them that it doesn't look good with how widespread they are and to be preparing to make serious decisions.He's in so much pain that he can't walk without a walker, and is pretty much just staying in bed in a drug induced sleep.
He's already stated that he will not go through chemo again. Now, Zane's mom is asking him to come up there so they can start going through all of the financial stuff together and get a plan together before they start to tell the rest of the family. If it's widespread bone cancer (which is what it looks like it might be) there probably won't be a super long time.
I know this is so selfish to even be thinking, but things have FINALLY start looking up with my mom, and I was just thinking last night that maybe this would be a good year and we could not have any huge family drama and maybe just be happy for a bit.
And . I mean, I don't even know if this is making sense. I'm word vomiting. I'm crying at my desk. Fiuck cancer, man.

Yikes. Sorry buddha. I'm sure it is hard for Zane to hear his dad won't go through chemo again. But sometime people truly feel more peaceful and comfortable when they don't have to be so focused on "winning".
Cancer can go fu(k itself right in the fu(khole.

Thanks, everyone. I already have an appointment next week with my therapist, and I think I'm going to ask about meds. With so much crap happening last year, I just feel like I'm not dealing well. I'm anxious and depressed all of the time, and I can't cope with even little things anymore.
It's making me short-tempered with Ethan and probably zero amounts of fun for Zane. I had already decided that before this news. This shouldn't be about me at all. Zane doesn't need one more thing to have to take care of, but I don't think I can help him right now without doing something for myself.
Does that make me an ***?
I'm so sorry, Dollface.
Ugh.
Hugs.
