This December has been the hardest month of my life. On December 1st, my dad was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. It's pretty aggressive so they got him ready right away for treatments to fight that ugly bitch cancer. This whole thing has turned my little world upsidedown. I'm really close with my dad and I work with him. I've been taking care of most of the things that he used to take care of, plus my normal day to day stuff and spending as much time with him as I can, so things have been a bit overwhelming. It's hard to believe it's only been a month. I've been so sucked into it all, it feels like it's been so much longer. They say with chemo and radiation, it gets worse before it gets better...so hopefully he'll be turning the corner soon to feeling more like himself.
I'll probably still be popping in and out, but I doubt that I'll be regularly posting for a while although, I'm going to try. It's a good release and I still have some goals for next year to share...writing it down helps hold me accountable. See you in 2012.

Sorry to hear about your Dad but it sounds like you're taking care of him. I hope 2012 is better for both of you.
I'm so sorry sweets! Your dad, you and your family is in my prayers! I've have had a few rough patches lately too and haven't had the strength to write a post. Praying that 2012 gets better!
So sorry to hear about your dad :( Dan's stepdad was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer right before Thanksgiving. He's not super close with him - but it still sucks.
To give you a ray of hope - a close friend's dad was also diagnosed with Stage 3 a little more than a year ago and he now has a clean bill of health. I'm hopeful that the same is true for your dad!!!
Thinking of you - hope 2012 is better!
I know exactly what you mean when you say it turned your world upside down. 3 years ago my dad was diagnosed with cancer and it was the worse time of my life. Good news is after a year of aggressive chemo and radiation, the cancer was gone. (I pray to God every day it doesn't ever come back!). The treatment is tough, and it does get worse before it gets better, but good news is it gets better! I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers for a full recovery!
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, I had no idea.
Thinking of you!
