Well, the news is in about my Father. He has to have a colostomy to remove the cancer. He is feeling better since the radiation and chemo, but no luck there is still cancer. He was going to go with acupuncture and alternative treatments, but the Doctor told him if he wants to live much longer…So there we have it. Now what? How do you cope? He is so far away I cannot even go and see him. I do not know how to cope. My mind is not here at all. I forget thinks and cannot concentrate. My sister is suffering from insomnia and all I want to do is sleep away the next 3 months or so. Two different ways of coping.
