Dear Lovedad,
I am very sorry indeed to hear of the passing of your dad, please accept my sincere condolences. I do know the pain that you feel right now as I too lost my dad to this cancer. Please know that my thoughts are with you and your family right now.

Dear lovedad,
I am so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. I’m sure your being there for him made all the difference to him. May your pain and sorrow become less each day and be replaced by fond memories of your dear Dad. Sending love and hugs to you.

That’s lovely, Lainey.
Lovedad, I am really sorry for the loss of your father. You have been a wonderful daughter to him. My sincere condolences. Willow
Dear LoveDad, I am so very sorry to read about your Dad. I do believe we pick our own time to go to our Peace and I think your Dad picked his, he was ready. He is not only at Peace he is healthy again and very happy and we would want you eventually to be happy for him as well.
Those we love must someday pass beyond our present sight…
They leave us and the world we know without their radiant light.
But we know that like a candle their lovely light will shine
To brighten up another place more perfect…more divine.
And in the realm of Heaven where they shine so warm and bright,
Our loved ones live forevermore in God’s eternal light.It’s been a very tough month for my family. My dad has passed away last Sat in the hospital. He stated in the hospital for 3 weeks, went to nursing home for 2 weeks. Just 1 month after he went to the hospital for the drain…. It happened so fast. I scheduled a radiation re-evaluation appointment for him but it’s too late. Maybe it’s not that bad… radiation is not comfortable anyway.
I hope he’s in a good place, happy and rest. I appreciate everyone’s support! I’ll check back this forum and show my support to others too. take care!
lovemydad, you are in my thoughts and prayers tonight. I’m holding thoughts of you and your Dad and your family in a peaceful place. No matter the news I see you surrounded with love and your father surrounded with your love. Tomorrow may bring better news. We are all with you and sending you our sympathies and our strongest hopes for better news but also for peace in your heart for you as you are there for your family. You are strong and this is tough, Hang in there. xoxox
I sure wish your poor Dad could catch a break. I am sorry for all you and he have been through. Take care and God bless.
Love, -Pam
I’m so sorry to hear this news. I was hoping you would be able to transfer to Sloan or NY Pres for better treatments.
You and your family are in my prayers for strength and healing.Dear lovemydad, I am so very sorry for your family. Good to know Dad is aware of everything but what he said to you about being strong shows that he has accepted what ever is to be and wants you too as well. That is why he told you to be brave! Not an easy thing for a Dad to do. You see, even in this situation his thought is about you. I am thinking about you and wishing I could take this all away from you.
My dad’s figures pretty much stable. Getting little better and better, but not quickly a lot better. I am afraid they’ll stop treating him even the infection …. I found out Dr. Diehl’s mom also very sick and he left town. No wonder there was a bit of delay during the time we were in the hospital. Anway…
Doc said because the liver function not good, we can’t treat the cancer; because of the cancer making him weak, liver function is not good. This is catch 22. We asked doc to help ask again why can’t we drain the right side. If right side is also drain, it must be able to help bring the numbers better. But innervation radiologist doesn’t agree to do it. Reason is not very clear, but some doc said not safe to do it. May kill him right away if not aim/drain the right spot? Doc will help ask innervation radiologist again…
I have talked to my dad all I need to tell him. He told me to be brave. ……Praying.
LovemyDAD and Annie. Just remembered something we used to say a lot on here and that is “we always try to stay realistically optimistic”.You never know how strong you are until “strong” is the only choice you have!
Hi. Don’t have many answers. I’m dealing with my brothers treatments as we speak. I lost my Mom to this 5 yrs ago and now my brother has stage 4. I know your pain and all the confusion. Praying for you during this difficult time.
I asked the nurse, she said liver function came down a little today. was 80 in the past few days, today 60. bilirubin was 18 for 2 days, and 13, and now 10. She said they have not found heart detect. I see numbers improving, but not sure why doctor said it’s not working. Doc said if left drain is working, the bilirubin should come down in 1-2 days. My dad’s bilirubin staple for the 1st 2 days and come down a lot.
My guess maybe infection after they put in the drain in his left side that makes the numbers/heart rate/blood pressure swing. But bottom line is he’s improving. He was not allowed to eat until yesterday and not allow to eat again. Any human being will be weak without eating. I need to be sure ask the nurse to have Dr. Fong look at my dad’s whole case, not just dial a phone to call.
I am really hoping some doctor in this world can help him. Praying……..
