My dad is dying...

[joefire_2008]

3 years ago my dad was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a radical mastectomy along with chemo and radiation in order to treat it. Today the results from a recent CT scan came back and he has cancer spread all throughout his organs and lungs. He does not have much longer to live. I have not been a member here that long, but I wanted you all to know and for those of you that believe in God, please pray for him. His name is John. He has spent his life giving back to others and if this is the end for him, many people will be at a loss because of it. My mother and family are hysterical and the stress is overbearing.

I am all that I am because of my dad. Please pray for him.

Thank you.

I feel for you, you and your family will be in my prayers.
What will make it easier for him is if the Dr. can Rx him good pain meds, or have him on a morphine drip via machine @ home. This will do alot to min. any pain or worries for him, and enjoy your time with him. Remember the good times, and talk to him about things that are on your mind, or say whatever it is you wanted to say... So you don't regret not saying them, or not having that talk with him you wished you did.

Remember death is only on part of life... embrace the others. He will always live on in you. My best to you and your family.

I'm so sorry.

I agree- enjoy each moment you have with him. You'll need those good moments to fall back on someday.

I was with my dad 24/7 while he died. I can't explain this; it was the most beautiful, painful experience in my life thus far. I would NOT change the fact that I had that time with him though. My bro and sister wishe they could have shared that time with him.

So sorry to hear this. The best thing your father can have right now is your time. Give it back to him all the days, hours and minutes that he shared with you when you were growing up.

Bring photos of past times. Share stories. If he is able, take him short visits to his favorite park or spot.

Above all, never let the chance you have now be missed to tell him that you love him.
