The latest news, that I got only few hours ago, is that Magda and Mirela explained to our father the choices that he has in terms of the treatment. He was a little upset when they got to his place, saying that he does not appreciate the fact that they are taking decisions for him and that they are forcing him to go to Cluj (the clinic in Transilvania - Romania). He also said that he believes that he would have been better with the tumor instead of doing the surgery. The girls were patient, listened what he had to say and then told him that the tumor that he had is called glioblastome and that it is very aggressive and without surgery the life expectancy is of six weeks. Father was very surprised and he said: "that means I would have been dead for two weeks now..". My sisters then started to tell him how we translated his file, how we found contacts, how we sent all these info to all kind of specialists around the world. They told him that we did not want to tell him and to mom anything until we had facts and a plan. He was impressed by our team work, I guess we impressed him again. The first time he was really impressed was while in the hospital, he couldn't believe that we came up with a shift plan, and with all those details.. Dad is very difficult to impressed. Before this horrific experience, we never actually impressed him in any way. At least he never let that show, that's for sure..
Tomorrow my brother in law Bogdan - Roxana's husband, will drive them to Hungary for the first appointment with the doctor. We will see how it goes and then we will also get the exact amount of the treatment.
I still have butterflies in my stomach, and until I see his first reaction to the treatment I cannot be at peace.
God help us, I love you dad.
