I was going to write about Graydon Carter, who put a name, via this month's Letter to the Editor in Vanity Fair, to what I was feeling all day Sunday and Monday of this week. That is "fuckup fatigue", a phrase he attributed to Bill Maher.
But I just talked to my parents. My dad was diagnosed with Stage II Prostate cancer today. He has to have more tests, including a bone scan, to make sure the cells are not lurking elsewhere. He will have surgery by the end of month.
I'm so tired.
Sorry to hear the news Jenn. We'll keep your dad and you in our thought and prayers.
ReplyDeleteJenn, I am so sorry to hear this and will be thinking of you and your family, especially your father. I have heard that prostate cancer is supposed to be very treatable--hopefully this is the case for your Dad, too!
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself . . . sleep if you need that.
Thank you to both of you. I saw my father today (Sunday) and he is very upbeat.
