My Father passed away 8/20/2018 from cancer.
My Father lived in Seattle, I live Near Portland Oregon
He had been suffering from pains in his rib cage and stomach for a year but never said a word.
July 23rd he went to the Va for scans and they discovered 6 tumors. I was with him the whole week at the Va.
He was a smoker since age 13. He was exposed to agent orange in Vietnam in 71
The oncologists gave him a month minimum, 6 months maybe with chemo.
I knew he probably wouldn't last the month but I had hope.
My brothers and I saw him one last time 8/18/2018 I thought he might make it to the next weekend.
I got the call Monday morning about 8 am 8/20/2018 from my brother in Hawaii that dad would not make it thru the day.
I was in the car in 30 minutes with my wife to Seattle. I got a call at 10:40am from my brother sobbing Dad had passed away.
I went to Seattle see him at the VA.
He passed away so fast that im still in disbelief how fast he went. My dad was prepared.
