I need a silver lining

I always try to see the glass half full, but I'm really struggling to see the silver lining right now.  Like  many other people, I worry and I struggle with anxiety.  I always try to find the good in everyone and everything and I choose to be happy but right now...it is hard. 
1.  I'm furloughed.  Yes...I may eventually be paid, but right now, things are up in the air.  I'm trying to use this time to unpack some stuff at home and go through the kids old toys, but I really dislike uncertainty.
2.  While my furlough is frustrating...my Dad is also furloughed.  This could NOT come at a worse time.  If you follow me, then you know my Dad has stage IV colon cancer.  He has frequent tests and appointments.  Thank God he has his retirement from his previous job--though that will not cover all of his bills.
3.  Saving the worst for last...my Dad went in for another CT scan on Sept 25th.  The results were not great. He had another appointment today with the Lung Specialist.  He had 3 nodules on his lungs.  There are now 9.  NINE.  I'm literally sick to my stomach.  I can't even think about it without losing it.  I just rebuilt my relationship with him and now....this.  Today, he refused the biopsy needed to determine the type of chemo he would need.  Thankfully...he hasn't totally ruled it out yet.  He wants to talk to his Oncologist about side effects first.

** before you comment that I should respect his wishes because it is his body...please note...that is my plan.  I would never guilt him into anything, but I WILL talk to him about success rate, statistics, and offer to sit through every chemo treatment with him if it would help.  He is my Dad.

If you have any positive success stories, please feel free to share them.  I need some hope to grab onto.
