Advice: Dad has cancer

[bigrand]

Damn, im sorry to hear this happened to you. I lost my dad 5 years ago to pancreatic cancer when i was 18, it will take some getting used to it, but you will get through it, i know you will. Cancer is a terrible thing, treatment is so barbaric these days. There are great things on the horizion (RI gene therapy as seen with the p53 gene) but too late for some of us.
I really feel for you girl, it was so terrible to see my dad go but it was great that he didnt have to suffer anymore, that was the worst part. You have to keep your head up. REALLY try to keep busy, be around family and friends a lot, it is what kept me going. If you ever need to talk, vent anything, we are here, its not much i know, but its the least i could do.

Keep your head up girl

I'm so sorry Jaded. I just found this thread.

A loss of a loved one is always sad and horrible. Cancer especially. It's one of the reasons i always donate and run for cancer research.

Hugs. His pain is over and while he may be above, you leading a powerful happy successful life from hereon and taking care of your family will make him smile.

Damn, sorry to hear about your loss. I just lost my mom to cancer in May so I unfortunately have and idea of what you are going through. If you ever need to talk or vent feel free to message me. Also, don't forget to take care of yourself at this point in time. Not sleeping or eating enough tends to make things that much more difficult.

All my best,

David

I'd like to say that current research as far as I understand it , chemotherapy does not cure anything. It is a means of prologing life. Basically it won't fix anything , but it will lessen or reduce the size of tumors. Chemo does not kill or remove tumors. It's a treatment not a cure. Infact nothing has been cured since polio

My condolences
