Cancer fucking sucks (Prayers/thoughts for my dad)

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Sorry to hear, brother. I'll keep your dad in my thoughts.
 
I rarely post here, but this thread is one that I have to respond. Throughout your dad's coming battle you're going to hear good and bad news, but please don't let the bad break your spirits. My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and given a maximum of six months to live. Two and a half years later she continued fighting it while living a relatively normal life. Cling to whatever you believe in, science, religion, whatever. Just know that you have a super system here and a lot of people who are or have gone through what you're family is going through. My prayers will be with you all.
 
high protein diet helps a lot found out you have to half your body weight say your dad weight is 190 he needs to have 90 grams of protein. I got so weak that I could not get up or walk started with the added protein and in a week was able to walk on my own and getting stronger don't know if you have tried this or not I drink four muscle drinks a day and it has helped alot
 
It more that sucks I'm fighting small cell lung cancer that has moved to brain. just finished 3 weeks
of full brain radiation and on the 3rd round of chemo it has moved to my liver. they think they may have caught it early and give 2 years maybe 3 my prays to any one that has to go through this shit..

Wow, that sucks even more. It amazes me the real life stories of people on here. We forget that we all have real lives in this virtual community.

Prayers go out for you Cavfanintx.

Thoughts and prayers X.
 
My grandfather was recently diagnosed as well, fuck cancer. Hang in there man.
 
Sorry to hear, X. My best to everyone in your family.
 
I'm just gonna copy/paste my facebook status.

Just got home from Cleveland. Dad seems to be doing well. He's in great spirits being his normal ornery self. Gotta wait on this biopsy to know where we go from here. Was told the masses are pretty small which in the scope of things is a good thing. They've got the seizures under control so he can talk again. Was really good to hear his voice. He's taking all this really well with a great attitude and outlook. He's not giving up and neither am I.



*edit* Thank you guys for your support and prayers. He was in surprisingly better spirits than I expected. My dad has always been the one that "when it's my time, let it be." Hearing him today it's about how he's gonna kick the shit out of this, and he's damn well gonna make that statistic for survival rate rise. He's never been one for doctors, which is pretty much why we are where we are at this point. But being in Cleveland Clinic has given him some hope/faith whatever that he's going to make it.

Sorry to hear. Life sucks sometimes.

I've had 3 people in my life come down with brain tumors over the last few years.
 
Never told me a stage, but based on what I was told.... Stage 4 Non Small Cell Lung Cancer. I was told it was aggressive.

Wish we had medical marijuana in Ohio so I could at least get him high quality cannabis oil to add to his regimen.
 
My good thoughts are with you X. Going through shit like this does really suck. My mom was diagnosed with a brain tumor in May 2011 and passed away in May 2012. Then my dad had a stroke in Nov. 2013 and passed away this March. I've pretty much been dealing with death and everything that surrounds it for 3 years now. Been tough and as an only child it's all fallen on me.
Stay strong and be there for your dad.

I'm an only child too. Lost my mom when I was 13 of a sudden heart attack.

I'm thankful that I'm going to get to spend time with him and can at least expect the inevitable to happen. I feel like it should let me handle his loss a bit easier. I can pretty much be ready to file bankruptcy when it's all said and done which is going to dash my hopes of buying a home for a while.

I'm still in shock of everything. Don't even know where to start, what to do, anything. Just trying to read as much as I can.
