Becky I hope you get some answers.
This is totally unrelated to infertility, but you ladies are friends to me so I know I can vent to you guys about anything...
My dad called me yesterday and told me that he has been urinating blood. A lot of blood. I've taken enough medical classes to know that blood in urine is caused by 1 of 3 things....Kidney problem, Bladder problem, Urethra problem. Add that to the fact that he is 45, diabetic, heavy smoker, hypertensive, coronary artery disease and has had 2 heart attacks already...my dad is a walking health disaster. The light side of the spectrum is that it could be a UTI or kidney stones... But nope, he called me today and they ruled those out...now whats left is serious infection, or...the C word. And if it is the C word, the fact that hes bleeding in his urine would mean its advanced. As in not much chemo can do. But since some doctors dont care unless its their family, he is scheduled to see a urologist FEB 4!!! Like 2 weeks away....If this is the C word, he needs to start treatment, like, yesterday! I mean come on...hes 45!! hes too young for all these problems. I mean, hes a smoker and has been since he was like 18 (with a 7 yr hiatus) so it would be his own fault, but still. hes 45. not even 50 yet. hes too young for everything he has been through. 2 heart attacks before he was 45. First grandchild when he was 38 I got a lot of grief for that one lol.
Why does life have to suck. Now its like more important than ever to have another baby so that just in case its bad news, my dad can meet as many of his grandchildren as possible. He only has 1, my kid. My sisters are 22 (with no bf or partners) and my other sister is 16...so its up to me lol.
Ugh please let him be ok. Please let it be that my dad is a man whore and caught an std from someone. (never prayed for an std before )
