update on my dad
Nov 03, 2009 | 1:42AM
Sorry I didn't follow up on my last entry but my father was doing much better and I really thought he was going to be fine. I had a 4 day live in job Oct 28-Nov 1. I came home to a message on the answering machine from him. I called right away and he does have lung cancer :( He is not going to be treated, has said no to chemo (I sure don't blame him) and no surgery. His biggest fear is having these things done and turning into a vegetable, if that makes sense and having to go to a nursing home. He wants to die at home and my sisters are over all the time helping. So it is not good news and nothing more can be done. I am still kind of in shock. It doesn't sound like he has much time left.

Sad news, Lisa. I'm sorry for you and just hope that all the prayers/good thoughts will help to ease your father from pain/suffering.

Just this morning I shared with a member whose mother has been struggling with chemo, that God forbid I should ever have a dread disease, that I'd not want chemo; just enough meds to be comfortable.

I'm glad you are home for a few days, but know you have another job coming up quite soon. Take care, my friend.

i am so sorry.. but never give up hope.. my brother was diagnosed with lung cancer and given 6 months to live.. .he is now cancer free... though he said he would never do chemo again, so if it comes back, he will take the same options your dad is choosing.... i know it's very hard to hear those words, but it is their choice..for the 3rd time now, they've told my mom she has breast cancer....she is 89... said she will decide next week if she's going to let them operate.. it's a hard decision to make...your family will be in my prayers thru all of this...please keep us posted...

Thank you all very much. I know he'll have good and bad days.... I do understand him not wanting to go through chemo. The surgery they offer for his type of lung cancer is not something that works well. Still really don't know what to say but bless you all.
Hugs,
Lisa
