Well, my dad has lung cancer, but he won't let anybody do anymore scans or anything. My family is a Christian family. So, we have this neighbor. He is encouraging my dad to be brave, don't let it get to him.. which he doesn't anyway. But anyway, my mom KNOWS that he has lung cancer, but my neighbor has told her to keep telling herself and dad "You don't have cancer!" but I was thinking about it.. won't this just make it worse when it grows? And spreads? And well.. when he.. dies? Because he can't do kemo. He's 84 years old, and too weak for it. It scares me to think about it. But I mean, if she keeps making herself and him believe that he doesn't have cancer, and he well.. dies, won't it make the impact much much worse?
Am I right to think about it this way?
Or should I do what she does and make myself belive he doesn't?
I mean.. it's just now hitting home..and it makes me hurt.
Answer soon please.
