Dad ... he's gone.

[beeniesmom]

Bad news just got worse...
They had to stop the chemo because his liver couldn't handle it.
Also, they have discovered it's in his lungs and bones as well.
For now, they will start radiation therapy that is the only therapy that might be effective to slow the bones deterioration down.
For now... it looks like he has 6 months.
I am numb.
Got Laura's SS card in the mail yesterday.
I'll be applying for her passport tomorrow.

I am so sorry to hear this, but all I can do is offer prayers for your Dad and you and the entire family.
Cancer is probably the most dreaded diagnosis anyone could be dealt - not only for the patient - but for everyone involved. I know it's easier said than done, but please try to be strong, no matter the outcome. You have that little person just starting her life, that needs you.
Unfortunately, I've had to deal with this dreaded disease with family too. My father, grandfather, and 2 uncles all passed away with cancer, and both of my brother have had it too. It never got any easier to accept no matter how many times I had to face it.
Just know that we all have you and your Dad in our thoughts and prayers.

6 months??? The doctors are not God. They really don't know. I know several cancer patients who were told the same thing and that was years ago. Keep the faith!!!

Healing thoughts and prayers are going out to your father. I hope that the doctors can do something to drastically slow down the cancer cells, and that he will have much longer to live.

My thoughts are with you, Carmen.

I'm so sorry, Carmen. I wish there was something I could do to help you. Try to stay strong for your Dad and Laura. I am constantly praying for all of you. Don't give up. There are miracles every day now for cancer patients. {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}

I'm so sorry. You all have been in my thoughts lately and I'll continue to keep you there.

Thanks guys.
We were able to apply for little pumpkins passport today.
They said 6 to 8 weeks but most likely a lot sooner.
My sister and I are both making arrangements to go together in November, unless an emrgency should arise and we need to go sooner.

[AdoreMyDogs]

Carmen I'm so sorry. Your family is in my prayers. Miracles DO happen, it IS possible. Please don't lose hope, as hard as it may seem. Now go and give that beautiful little angel of yours a huge hug and kiss for me, please.

HUGS.

So awful to be so far away.

There is a friend at a hospital in Calgary here who had the same thing...starting in bones, into abdomen and lungs...he never saw a doctor in his life and yes, he is terminal.

BUT - there is another man there with, yes, the SAME thing - he was terminal and no longer is! He is still going through some treatments, but is coming along.

I wonder if the doctors in Naples are open to any alternatives like Transfer Factor, etc?

HUGS and Prayers to you...it ain't over yet, hon! Prayers for a miracle.
