Update

Hi guys. Just thought I’d update you on how Nonno John is doing.
The doctors have confirmed that his condition is fatal, and he has a few days or weeks to live. It’s hard to tell, the cancer has spread throughout his body.
The good news is that he is in no pain, and is in good spirits. All his brothers and family are visiting him in the hospital. Nonna Connie told them not to tell him the truth, to keep him from worrying. She knows him best, so it’s the right choice. My dad said that he probably knows the truth because he is dreaming of his parents, and another women he knew who died. He’s also told Nonna Connie to get his “blue suit” ready to bury him in, and who to give his wedding ring to.
I’m going to visit tomorrow and stay over until Friday. I want to get to see him while he is in good mental health. Nonna Connie is doing well so far, but my dad and his siblings are taking it hard. I tried to cheer him up tonight, but it’s hard. It’s his dad, and I have no idea how hard this is for him.
Thank you too Sreng for your support, and ear to talk to. I’m sure I will need the support, especially in the coming days.

Bad News

Hi guys.
Thanks for the support Judy and Daren.
The news from the doctors at the hospital is bad though. They discovered a blockage in his intestines, and that he has pancreatic cancer. His family doctor has been suspicious that something was wrong for a while with his digestive track. My family didn’t want to have him tested, in case they “found something,” since there’s not much they can do for him at this age. Well, “something” is there after all.
I plan on visiting him on Sunday, so hopefully he makes it until then. I spoke to his wife, my Nonna Connie, last night and told her not to worry. I hope it doesn’t hit her too hard, she’s strong though.
Thanks again.
