They ran test after test all night long. The 12-year old resident couldn't tell us anything; nor could the attending, other than that they were keeping him.
Today, after about 4 hours of sleep, I dragged myself back to the hospital. Dad looked terrible. And had terrible news to give me.
"Its cancer."
I haven't talked to a doctor yet, but apparently its all over his liver and intestines. He doesn't want to treat it. I don't know yet what that means for a man on dialysis. Do you stop the dialysis and let the kidney disease kill you, or do you wait for the cancer to get you while continuing dialysis?
Or how about this question: What the fuck am I going to do?

I'm so sorry to hear that. I don't know what to say except for hugs and more hugs. Also, cancer support group?
I'm so sorry you're going through this. My heart goes out to you.
Wow S, I have been slacking on my blog-reading and had no idea. I'm really sorry!
