I need you!

On easter Sunday I went for dinner at my in laws, I could see in my father in laws eyes that he was dying (hes 90 years old)
No one else saw this, not even his wife. I think she didnt want to see it.
Yesterday he was diagnosed with lung cancer, Monday we will meet with the oncologist (SP?) and talk about a CBC test(I think its called) to see how far along it is.
His wife never liked him drinking or smoking, so every time we got together we would sneak off to the basement or deck for a smoke and a beer. there, we would compare who was on more meds.....can you imagine that?
I could type many threads about WW2 that he has told me. he was in the mix of the biggest battles......HE is my hero!!
Please give it up for Romeo Chase!
Thank you

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Oh Jonny, I'm so sorry to hear you and your family will be going through this.
The very first thing I would do, from past experiences, is contact Hospice. They will hold you ALL up emotionally, help you to understand and cope and be of ever so much help to your father-in-law. Don't let anyone tell you that there is a "time-frame" for Hospice help. It varies from owner to owner. Inquire yourself to get the facts.
I wish you all strength and patience.
Prayers and Love,
Donna

Thanks folks, the old dude is just like my Dad when he went to the hospital, he gave the DNR order as he was wheeled trhough the door.
When the doc told Romeo that he had lung cancer he said, "Its no big deal"
I think like my Dad....that he is just tired.

You've got it. Continue being his friend and remain close, he will need it going thru this. That will probably be what he needs most, love and caring from those most close to him.
Sorry to hear the news.

We will be praying for your whole family during this time Jonny. I'm glad you are there for him.
Please tell him thanks for his service inWWII. We are losing them so quickly these days, and their experience and memories with them. Get him to pass along as much as he can to you, and if he is up to doing so, if he would write of his experiences during the war it would be so valuable to the generation coming along [/i]if it would bother to read it[i]. Some would, and they would profit from it.

Thoughts, vibes and prayers to you and your family Jonny. Man, at 90 that gives him some serious bargging rights along with one heck of a life's story.

Yeah he is probably tired and don't care all that much anymore. He survived big battles in WWII drank, smoked and put up with you and still lived to 90. He sounds like quite a character. I hope his last days are pain free.
