I don't know how to say this. I just got a phone call from my Dad. He had his annual checkup last week. He's always been ridiculously healthy for a man of this age with his history, diet, and habits but last week was different.
My Dad was just diagnosed with prostate cancer.
I don't know what to do. I can't stop shaking or crying. I've already lost one father. I can't handle losing another - not this way.

I've known several people will prostate cancer and they did recover from it, so I wish the best for your father.
My mom was diagnosed with colon cancer last year. It was such a shock--she's the healthiest person I know. I was a mess when I first found out. Do you have someone you can talk to? Someone who can hold you while you cry? I remember walking around the neighborhood with my baby in the moby, crying on the phone with my little brother. We spent lots of days like that last summer. DD and I went to Mass a lot, too. I don't personally believe in Catholicism, but my mom does, so in a way I felt like it was something I could do to help her even though I was halfway across the country.
