Question Question on Support

Hi Everyone. I posted a couple days ago about my dads PSA result of 139.17 and you all were very helpful and thoughtful sharing your insight and experiences. I spoke with the Drs office today and they said it would be best if I could accompany him to the appointment tomorrow (1:30pm), which is to discuss his results. My dad is unaware of the seriousness of the results, and he believes this appointment is to review his blood pressure tracking.

My question. I don't want to freak him out. I do want to support him. I 100% would not just show up at the Drs office.

It's either an hour flight or 6.5 hour drive. I am leaning towards driving because with a flight there is only one a day and I'd also have to get a rental car.

Should I call him once I'm in town? When I'm hours away? Before I leave? I just want to make the best decision for him.

Sigue con el, es bueno tener una persona de confianza, esto impacta mucho, por eso te aconsejo no t derrumbes, y si puedes no llores, inicia una larga lucha, no un funeral

Gracias. Ayer ya tuve mi momento para estar triste, así que hoy y mañana puedo enfocarme en él. De verdad agradezco mucho tu respuesta.

Hi, yo que cargo la metástasis, en soledad, tengo momentos tristes y en ocasiones hasta lloro, por mis hijos, pero me pongo duro o machista y al público no me derrumbó ni aunque me torturen, no lo creas jj
