Well I found out tonight that my Dads
cancer is spreading for sure & the
Dr.s are saying "at best" he will live a
year! They won't say how
long "at worse". He is getting a Nurse to
come check on him weekly and another Nurse
who will come and check/take care of his
hygene. I think that he needs a full time
Nurse though seeing he will be doped up on
morphine almost 24/7 meaning he cant care
for himself without taking a risk of
harming himself. I mean what if he slips
and falls while trying to bathe? He can't
walk on his own atm anyways w/o his walker
and because of all the drugs he has to
take hes not exactly all there upstairs
too. I was talking to him on the phone
tonight and he brought up peter pan out
of nowhere & he thought he was in the
Nevada hospital where he was born, He is
often confused. Anyways please wish my Dad
& family luck and much strength,
thankyou.

I'm sorry to hear that. I must have
missed where you said but what type of
cancer does he have? We just found out my
aunt has cancer and they have also told
her she has a year at most.. Its quite
hard but just cherish the days you have
with him! I'll say a prayer for you
Thankyou girls very much, makes me feel so
much better that I have more support. =)

Well, think on the bright side...
My grandpa had lung cancer that was
spreading (now in remission) and they gave
him at most 18 months. That was well over
3 years ago now... It may not seem like it
but he could live longer than they
expect... My grandpa has..
you guys are in my thoughts. Good luck.
Best wishes
