Title: It's official...Life Sucks
Post by KarenT on Jun 2^nd, 2002, 1:10am

and it doesn't have a thing to do with CH.

My dad was diagnosed with colon cancer last Friday and had surgery 2 days ago. The cancer has metastasized to the liver and is not operable. I feel as if a tons of bricks has fallen on me. I can't imagine how he feels. Like I said, I know this has nothing to do with CH, but I needed to vent. :'(

IvyNurse, I sure would like to talk to you about right now. I'm an ER nurse and my hubby has CH. All I remember about CA is from school..so I'm really outta focus here.

Hello Karen........

I clearly remember, just as if it were yesterday, the feelings I had when I found out that my dad had CA. I am truly sorry.

Your friends here will hold you up as best we can.

Donna

I am so sorry. I can't find the words to tell you just how I feel right now. I have lost so many good friends and family to cancer and have a friend fighting the good fight right now... Treasure those moments you will have with your Dad. Make memories everyday and keep your chin up. I dont know how old your dad is mine is 80 this year and I am also counting the minutes that I have with him... He is so wonderful... my thoughts will be with you over the coming months and lots of prayers. I dont know if you have faith but even if you don't ...I do... Life is too much of a miracle to end... you will be with your dad in another place someday pain free for all of our loved ones... wont that be great...God Bless you Ree
