The patient doesn’t have much time left to live

You know the scene in dramas when the Doctor says,

“The patient doesn’t have much time left to live.”

That happened to me. It was surreal.

I knew my dad had cancer, stage 4 even, but I always thought he’d get better.

Then, during a regular check-up, the doctor found that his condition had worsened.

The cancer had spread to his heart. They told us to prepare, but I didn’t know what to prepare for.

Within a week, just before Ramadan, he passed away.

Al-Fatihah.
