I know little about this disease but it is suspected that my dad's mother possibly passed from the same thing. That puts me next in line.
Some mentioned treatments were chemo, and stem cell transplant.
He's certainly had better news. 
He'll be 82 on August 10th. He's my own personal Superman. 
I'm hoping and praying for the best outcome. |
Dude I feel for you. I lost my superhero a few years ago at 82. I still miss that man today. In this time just be there for him, let him know you love him everyday and look back at all the good times you've enjoyed (and even the bad time as my father always taught me something when times were bad) together.
You both are in my thoughts.
