Why Can Life Be So Cruel Sometimes

Why is it that the good people in the world get dealt the rubbish hand in life and all the bad people just seem to just pass through life without any problems?

You will be wondering what I am talking about but I will enlighten you in a minute. You may not agree with me on the question above but that is purely just my way of thinking about life at times.

So, back to the reason for my blog here. Just a week ago my dad was told that he has unoperable cancer. In October 2020, the doctors found cancer in his bladder plus a blockage in the pipe that links the kidney to the bladder. He did get an operation in November where they removed the cancer from the bladder but only had time to take biopsies from where the blockage was.

He was then informed by his own doctor that his kidney was only working at 11% and that they would probably remove the kidney. This he was ok with and had no problem at having only one kidney. However, at a follow up appointment for the previous surgery they said they were only going to bring him back in and remove the blockage.

He then had an appointment with his consultant who said they were going to remove the kidney plus the connecting pipe which had cancer growing in it. He had been advised the date for his operation was 23rd February. He got himself psyched up, only to find out on Monday the operation had been cancelled.

He was asked to go in to see the Doctor on the Friday. My mum and I went with him and got the devastating news that it was too dangerous to operate because the cancer was growing outside the pipe.

Basically, now it is just a waiting game and wondering how long we have left with him. It is very hard to not get upset when talking to him but he is such a positive person which helps.

My dad is an 82 year old who has had no real medical problems and has always kept himself active over the years. Always willing to give help to anyone who needs it and never complains about anything except his football.

dThis was a huge shock for us all but we will take it one day at a time and enjoy every minute of the time we have together with him.

We are at the end of another week everyone so have a great weekend and
