Penny, I am so sorry for your loss. How wonderful you were with him through it all. He must have been very proud to be your father and grateful. I know you will show the same love to your mother at this difficult time. You are in my prayers. The pain and loss does lessen, but it takes a lot of time.

Penny, I am so sorry for what you are going through. No one should ever have to deal with this. My mom just passed away on Sunday and was buried yesterday due to lung cancer. Not trying to depress you more but I do know what you're going through, although she opted to not do the chemo/radiation as the MD told her it would not do any good (and I doubt she would've done it had he said it'll help). We were fortunate to have hospice come out as well, they are so awesome. Keep him as comfortable as possible, keep him as happy as possible. Enjoy all the seconds that you do have together and cherish every breath. I will keep you in my thoughts.

I am so sorry! I absolutely hate cancer. It's affected so many families including my own. My heart breaks for you as I know the intense grief that comes from losing someone you love at this time of the year.
Your family is in my prayers this day.

Dad finally made it home from the hospital after two weeks,he had his scan to see the results of the chemo and radiation it did not shrink the cancer there is no change.he is recovering from the radiation and can eat good now, but they said there is nothing more than can do and the cancer will spread more than likely to his brain and blood all we can do now is keep him comfortable they have no idea how long hes got.hospice has come in to help as we are keeping him home.thankfully I live right next door I,m their only child. Mom is really having a hard time.Dad will be turning 70 in January.Thanks everyone for your prayers and hugs!Penny |

Penny I'm crying along with you sweetheart! I lost my daddy 5 yrs. ago from brain cancer. They wanted us to put him in a nursing home but he wanted to stay home. I just pretty much moved in to help mom with him. If I had it to do over, I'd do the same. The little talks and looks and smiles were such blessings to me. And when you couldn't understand what he was saying, I could make out the "I love you too". We knew that the Lord was with us at all times. And after all his suffering, I finally told the Lord that we know its time he go home with him. And it was so peaceful, knowing there was no more pain. And as you said, I hate Cancer, but its a uncontrolling illness, you never know, there are many!!!!! who can survive it. Just try to keep a postive mind. I hope that you can hug on to all the love and prayers coming your way, and that you are in our hearts and minds and prayers. Hug, Brenda

Over the years, I have had several residents in the nursing homes where I worked (as a nurse) live way longer than expected by the MDs with lung cancer (and other cancers). My mom was just told on Wednesday that she has cancer in her lung and around her kidney. We go for the biopsy results on Thursday. We have already started a holistic treatment for her (I'm also an herbalist among other "things") and she is feeling better over all. She's already said that she doesn't want to do the chemo/radiation due to the nasty side effects. Hopefully her doctor will honor her wishes (if he doesn't he'll have some serious issues) should she change her mind, I'll support her 100% although in all honestly I feel deep in my bones that a holistic approach is better. Hopefully your dad will pull through, I do wish him well and you also. Remain strong and confident in your love for him. Think positive thoughts. It really does help. Try to have him drink even if he doesn't want to eat anything, you can give him healthy smoothies, ensure, boost, etc.
