My dad was having a CT scan this afternoon that had been scheduled earlier in the week by his oncologist. We were literally the last people to be seen today. We spent all day together as we just today found him a primary care doctor to handle his non cancerous issues. In the course of his conversation with his new primary doctor he made the statement "I want to be here as long as I can be..." to which his new doc responded, "when it's your time, it's your time..."
Two hours later was his time. He completed his CT scan and as he sat up, he had a heart attack and died on the CT. Of all the things I expected to happen today - that wasn't one of them. The last thing I said to him as he got up to get his CT was "I'll see you in a few minutes."
My heart hurts. I miss my dad so much already. He was a great man who was battling lung cancer with all he had. I am proud of his fight and am just so sad.
Anyhow, thank you all for your support through my brief time here. I thank God for all of the support here and my prayers go out to each and everyone here battling this condition. I'm not sure if I will come back here, I am not sure of anything right now. My best wishes to all of you...
