Apparently out of nowhere, (and he does not hide from the dr.) today we found out he has stage 4 gastric cancer, with liver and lymph nodes along for the ride.. I googled, I know the deal... Life ain't fair..
So sorry to hear...

One thing I always relay to people I hear who get this news is that while statistics and medical journals can be scary and not on your side, enough people pull off recoveries against the odds, increasingly so with modern medicine always improving, that it’s always worth holding onto some hope and acting as a positive force for your loved ones who are fighting, you never know what might work.

Good luck, sorry again that you have to go through it.
