This is my dad. He’s been my best friend ever since I was born. He’s the most important person in the world to me, and has recently been diagnosed with kidney cancer. Right now it’s only in his kidney. If he waits a while to get the procedure done to get it removed, it will spread throughout his body. My dad is so afraid that he’s in denial. He didn’t even tell my brother and I, my mom had to be the one to tell us. He lives 1500 miles away from me and I see him 4 times a year (if I’m lucky). It’s been three months since he found out, but the doctors said he’s had it for a year. I don’t know what I would ever do if I lost my best friend because he made the decision to not get the procedure done.

If this gets at least 50k notes, I will decide to show this post to my dad. Yes, I know this isn’t going to cure his cancer, but I’m doing everything I can to motivate him to get the surgery. I’m only 17 and I want my dad to walk me down the aisle when I’m older. Please show him that he’s not alone and that you care. This might save his life. Please.
