Need a prayer...

for my dad.
A while back, I had mentioned that his cancer had returned. Yesterday, we got word that the chemotherapy wasn't helping as much as anticipated. The general opinion of the doctors was that chemo wouldn't "beat" the cancer on its own, but maybe buy him some time. (surgery and radiation are out of the question because of last year's problems.)
While going through the 4th session of chemo in 2 months, it is taking its toll. He is in a lot of pain.
The doctors are considering dropping the chemo as the "qualtiy of life" seems more important than the "quantity" at this point.
Any prayers would be appreciated,
grant 
P.S. We are expecting the results of more tests sometime next week.

Awww Grant, so sorry your Dads not doing good.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
I'm sure more patients then their families would agree that sometimes quality is better then quantity. We as the family would find it harder to accept.
Hugs, prayers and vibes going to your Dad,
Suzy

You got it Grant. I want to let you know, that you are not alone in this. If ever you need someone to talk to, drop me a line. I know sometimes it's hard to ask for help, I know, I had a hard time doing it myself. My thoughts and good wishes are with you, your dad and family.

Prayers heading your direction Grant. I lost my father to cancer and remember well the hardships he endured during theropy. I pray your father will be able to side step any future side effect of the chemo, and that the chemo will do it's intended purpose.
Hang in there Grant -- your dad needs you to.

This is so hard. I'm sorry. I lost my young dad to CA years ago and I would put my money on quality.
My ex-husband also did experimental treatment for the CA he had in both lungs. Again quality .
It's a tough decision but it sounds like the right one.
My prayers are with him, you and your family.

Grant, I wish you and your father the best of luck bro. I went through the same thing with my Mom 3 years ago.
My best advice is....Contact Hospice, They are a great organization that will help you and your Father deal with the anxiety related to cancer. They will also help your father deal with the pain.
Stay strong bro, Your father is going to need you!

Sorry for this and some vibes headed your way.
Don't worry, you'll do the right thing and a long remission isn't necessarily out of the picture.

Grant, I love you bro. I know you hurt. I know you don't want your Dad to die. I also know your Dad is tired. I know he hurts. I know you want the best for your Dad.
I'm going to send you strength... to deal with what comes. Understanding... to realize that sometimes what seems to be the worst for you might be relief for him. Peace... to enable you to enjoy and cherish all of your experiences together.
And to your father, I hope for validation of his beliefs.
Relief from his pain. And the knowledge of your love.
Take my hand... its here for you.
