What goes up must go down

A follow up on yesterdays’ Lord of Pain

That fathers’ secondary liver cancer is taking him down is a fact. Yet the way down is not a straight line. His cancer moves more like waves:

  • yesterday father was visiting people
  • today father was in bed and seemed to be in pain

Seemed to be in pain

Maybe the pain and exhaustion came as a consequence of the good moments we had yesterday?

Tomorrow will be another metastatic liver cancer day to find out if father needs a higher dose of morphine in his pain treatment.

Father lived through the world war so expressing pain in words is kind of foreign to him. Which makes cancer treatment a difficult call when it comes to his pain management.
