Stop in for a cup of coffee

Just so you can be prepared, spinal cancer in an older male (especially in the T-8 region) usually means it has originated from lung cancer that has spread into the spine. This means the cancer is at an advanced stage and the prognosis is usually not very good with little time left and few options for treatment other than trying to extend the little time left.

Sorry. :(
Sad to say but he's right. My grandfather died in 2013 of this same thing. Diagnosed in late 2011. They gave him 6 months, he made it 17. I wish I could tell you different but hug and hold him often as possible. I screwed up and didnt do this, something I'll regret for the rest of my life and I can't ever make up for it.
