Dad ... he's gone.

[beeniesmom]

I know I should probably put this in the prayer requests...

Please pray that the chemo my dad starts tomorrow will rid him of the cancer he has.
I hope that he will be able to see his one and only granddaughter grow up. I feel bad that he hasn't even had a chance to meet her yet.

I know you can't chose when you get sick or what you die of but it's just so unfair for this to happen now. We found out the day Laura was born. I've been so miserable and not enjoying my baby because of it.

I am just so so upset that I think I will explode.
I feel helpless and scared. He's too young...

[Karen]

He will be in our prayers. I know many cancer survivors, including some here on Pet Talk! What kind of cancer does he have? Chemo is often miserable, but it is worth it in the long run.

he's in my prayers

[beeniesmom]

What kind of cancer does he have?

His tests are showing it as neuroendocrine cancer.
The source may be in his stomach. They really aren't 100% sure.
He has mets in his liver already.

Carmen, my heart is with you all. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers every single day. I have a good feeling that your Dad will get better and everything will be wonderful again. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

[Medusa]

For your dad (and you):

The Light of God surrounds you

The Love of God enfolds you

The Power of God protects you

The Wisdom of God guides and directs you

Wherever you go, God is

And all is well

And so it is

Amen.

Keep the faythe. And by all means enjoy your baby.

[beeniesmom]

Thank you Karen, Joyce, Terry and Mary. That's a very beautiful prayer.

Carmen, my heart is with you all. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers every single day. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Me too, me too.

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.

Beeniesmom,

Your Dad will be in my thoughts and prayers.

On the way.... "Father God, guide his caregivers hands, hearts and minds."

My dad survived the first major round of chemo to treat his lymphoma. He now has to have a treatment every 6 months. So I kinda know how you feel. So do yourself a favor... Worry more about the things you have control of, like your lovely daughter. I know I would not want our daughter to miss out on her children worrying about me.

[Laura's Babies]

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Dad. I know this is a stressful time for all of you, I lost my Mom to cancer and a brother so I know what you are going through.

[finn's mom]

Add me to the prayer list. My brother is a leukemia survivor, I will pray that your dad is victorious, too!

Thank you. :'''(

Just spoke to mom. She said her and my brothers were there with him during the treatment but he insisted that they all leave when it was done so they wouldn't see him get sick.
He's got two more, one tomorrow and one on Wednesday then a small break. Does anyone know, if he should need a liver transplant (which he probably will), is it difficult to find a compatible liver? Would us kids need to see if we were a match or is the liver an organ that can be donated by anyone? I feel like that's a stupid question.... like I should know.
