Title: Need a prayer... Post by brain_cramps on Oct 15th, 2003, 11:06am 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. |

Title: Re: Need a prayer... Post by suzy617 on Oct 15th, 2003, 11:15am 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 |

Title: Re: Need a prayer... Post by Donna on Oct 15th, 2003, 12:14pm 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. We are all just an e-mail away. |

Title: Re: Need a prayer... Post by Patrick_A on Oct 15th, 2003, 2:01pm 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! Patrick |
