My dad, 70, was just diagnosed with Liver cancer and is given 3 months more. He enjoyed life (perhaps too much) and I always dreaded this day, and now it is here. I am the eldest and he is always looking for me now, though my sibs have made the travel home. I have finally organized the trip ( I just had a beautiful daughter born 2 weeks ago) and I am expected to tell him that he has not much time left. We all love dad, inspite of his stubborness and unhealthy lifestyle ("those who are not prepared to die are not fit to live" is a favorite saying of his) Im sure dad seeing my newborn daughter would make him so happy. Another question, I am looking forward... is would he welcome hospice care (if available?)
