Well we've had bad news about my FIL. Remember he was diagnosed with stomach cancer about 2 years ago now and was doing well over that time the chemo shrunk the tumors he was feeling good etc. Then they found new tumors which they treated and shrunk. Now they've found alot. Lately he'd had trouble eating and they put stents in to help the food get thru but when they were looking around in there there was just heaps of tumors. So now his options are forget all treatment and just live what time he has however long that is or have his stomach removed which won't cure but can prolong life but at same time its not much quality of life not being able to eat/ drink and have to feed via a tube. So big choice there to be made.
What saddens me most tho is how much Ash will miss him, cause she really adores him, as you know kids can't hide who they favour and he is right up there and he adores her just as much so makes me sad to think about when he is gone or when is gets to end stage it won't be the 'papa' she knows ifykwim.
