That’s the thing with pancreatic cancer—it can be so rapid, and so slow all at once. It had spread to his liver and kidneys by the time they caught it, the day he left work early for what he thought would be a simple physical exam from his doctor. But he had been ignoring signs long before that. Casey became guardian of his father’s decisions, and while he says he can handle it, I’ve noticed how it’s all changing him. He’s gotten nurses involved again, and help for his mom so she’s not the only one trying to keep the house in order. But the need to make real decisions hasn’t come yet. It’s always looming. Casey and I have fallen into a new pattern. He calls me in the morning while I’m on my way into school and he’s on his way to his parents’ house. I usually check in with him again during my lunch when he’s driving into the studio. They let him shift his hours to come in later, which means he’s also there well into the evening.
