Dad has colon cancer
The reason why most things in this world come in pairs, is that when one thing fails, you still have another one to replace it.
Now when you marry, you get another father for the price of one. Unfortunately one father died because of metastatic liver cancer and now we hear that my father has colon cancer.
He is rushed in for surgery already, which means that we are all anxious at this moment. Not only anxious about the surgery, also about the recovery (being 85 and a bit diabetic is not the same as going for surgery when you are 25). And especially anxious about how aggressive this cancer could be.
2 times in one year… some pairs we don’t ask for 
I cannot describe how I feel right now, yet that’s a detail compared to how father must feel…
How many people need to get cancer still before something gets done about cancer prevention ????
