The next mountain to climb was telling my Dad and my kids.... How the hell do you say to them 'Hi just to let you know that I have cancer anyway how you feeling' Can't see that working for me or them... We was driving back to Sunny Northwich to visit and tell my Dad.... So I decided rightly or wrongly I would talk to my kids on the phone {my kids are grown up .. But hay always my kids} first call was to my daughter, here goes Caz I said..... The numbers dialed connection made... Ring ring ring ring then it went to vice mail. Can't remember if I left a voice mail or not?
That thrown a spanner in my works... Now for my Son... Connect made ring rings ring hello Dad.... O hi mate are you okay to talk? Yes but I'm at work was his reply. How are you he asked... Do I tell him as he is at work or not.... Regrettably I told him.. He took the news okay. Asked a few questions and I told him anything just ring me.
At that he hung up.... Shit Caz that was hard to do especially when you love them so much...... Juat a while later my Daughter phoned back... Deep breath I took and told her I'm not going into the conversant we had as it was very hard and very upsetting for all of us. Say the least we all was crying...
My brother was next..... Then we arrived at my Dad's home....
We walked in as usual he was sat watching the TV. After the normal gratings of a kiss and hugs Caz sat down and I went off to make us all a brew....
We sat there drinking our drinks when Dad said are we all alright?
There was a moment of pause............ I took a deep breath and said well Dad no not actually I've been having tests as you know for my excessive wind, well its turned out that I gave a rectal tumor.. You could have heard a butterfly flap its wings in Runcorn the house was a deadly silence..... As Dad had time to process the new which to me seamed like hours in truth it was seconds, I was holding strong as I didn't want to cry.... I deliberately didn't look at Caz, Dad had a small cry then out of this I pulled my ACE card by quickly telling him there was no signs of any secondary spread abd that the hospital said it's treatable... We stopped for a while chatting and putting Dad at ease.
On our way home I phoned my brother Steven to pop over later and have a see how dad was coping with my new..... 😳😳
