Dad’s treatment for prostate cancer started today. I went to this hospital with my sister for his initial stage of prostate brachytherepy. I did some research into his treatment of choice and found out that the success rate for someone with his prognosis was good. I realize that good domain names are getting more and more rare, but couldn’t the guys at http://www.prostateaction.org come up with something a bit less gay porn sounding?
I wanted to be there for Mindy, but I had mixed feelings about spending time with dad. This was the first time in, what, two years? that I had spoken to him.
I ended up staying with him for about an hour while Mindy got some lunch. It was good to talk to him, but it felt strained. I told him that I’d go see him this weekend and probably will. I don’t know if I’m ready to resume a “normal” relationship with him or not.
