Gonna try and distract myself today from reality the best I can.
I just wanna say my dad also has cancer and it can get better. Wishing your dad the best.

How long is the window of side effects or possible death from chemo?
Aaa sorry. Im not the person to ask about medical details.
In the case of my dad he had cancerous tissue and it got removed succesful after an operation. He does need to get checked regularly and it could return one day but he has been going strong these last couple of years.
everyone handles chemo and radiation differently
my grandfather did both but eventually also decided to stop after a long fight
its hard but i respect his decision to die with dignity surrounded by loved ones
good luck to your pops i hope he pulls through
Sending some good vibes your way 
Shit sucks, hope you successfully get your mind off of stuff for a bit. Don't binge on drugs for weeks to forget about it like i did, you'll just run out of drugs 
Sending good vibes, too! What are you going to try to distract yourself with?
