This is a harsh reality. We just found out my father has colon cancer. He was really constipated and ended up in the hospital. He was there for a week to have a stent put in so he could have bowel movements. He's supposed to get the tumor removed in two weeks, but he has never followed through with doctors. He says he's going to make sure to go, but I'm afraid he won't. He lives with us in my home, but there's only so much I can do to force him. I'm trying to accept that my father is mortal, bc I have always avoided thinking about it. All I can do is hope like hell he cooperates.
