(The previous one was written on May 23rd).

As I wrote, my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer when he was 74.

The doctor of the hospital first told him directly and then asked him to take another inspection to check whether the cancer had metastasized.

父の前立腺がんの宣告は、最初に本人に直接なされました。私は父からメールをもらって頭が真っ白になったのを今でも覚えています。父のメールには「なんかかなり悪いみたいだよ」とありました。

The inspection was called “Bone schintigraphy.” Psostate canceris, I’ve heard, tend to metastasize to bones when it is developing.
