My dad had advanced lung cancer.

r/

He doesn’t smoke, he had no symptoms. He found out by chance. It’s inoperable due to where it’s located. We live in Canada and Healthcare is shit where I am and takes forever. By the time he finally gets in for imaging and a biopsy and gets the results, who even knows if treatment will be an option, if it even is now.

He’s an amazing man, and I’m absolutely heartbroken. But I’m even more heartbroken at having to tell my kids. They’re teens and are extremely close with him, I don’t even know how.

I’m just rambling, but I’m just so very sad. Thanks for anyone who listened.

Edit: Title says had, but it’s has. He has cancer.

    Get a second and third opinion. Try to get one in America.

    A relative was diagnosed with double cancer, liver and pancreas. First doctor told them they were going to die and to get their affairs in order. Second doctor said it was treatable. My relative is alive and the markers for cancer are now at normal levels.
