Pam,
I am so deeply saddened to hear about Lauren. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Sincerely,
AngieWith deepest sympathy…I am so sorry for your loss.
My heart aches for you as I am seeing how we are slowly losing my dad to this cancer.
“God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “Come to Me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.”

Rebecca,
Please accept my condolences for your loss…Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories of your mom to forever hold in your heart.
Notdoneyet,
I am so sorry for what you are going thru as well. It is extremely difficult to see them go thru this. Enjoy all those good days where he is strong and feeling good! They are amazing strong people and we have been blessed to have them in our life’s until they are ready to leave.
I just wanted to say I have been there many times in these last few months. As my dad has had up and down days, I have felt so guilty for asking God to please give him his peace and end his journey if he cannot be healed. Then he bounces right back with all this energy and we are truly blessed to have another precious day with him.
I was wondering why are they doing the Plurex catheter on your son at this time?
If you need to talk please I am here as well.
I will definitely call you…is there a good time? I am going to get ready to visit my dad and drain the fluid…He likes to have it done early he keeps us in check if we don’t follow his schedule! I love that about him more now than ever before…
Thank you for your replies.
It is so nice to read everyone’s replies and outlook on things I definitely needed this!
I live in Glendale, Arizona my dad is with Hospice of the Valley. My parents are only a couple of miles away. My mom is his main caregiver and we are seeing the toll it has taken on her we are 5 siblings and we are all doing what we can to help my mom my dad is 62 years. He was such a strong and hard working man, now he is so weak and fragile….
These last three months have been a roller coaster of emotions. Although I know we all have to go sometime its not easy to think you wont be able to hug him, have the BBQ’s that he loved, he prepped our turkey for Thanksgiving dinner every year! I do understand that when he is ready to go he will leave us, I have seeing him fight this battle so hard. I only want him to have peace and no more pain.
These last couple of days he has been very restless and experiencing a little more pain, he is still eating not a lot though. My mom has had to give him more pain med and anxiety medication to help him keep calm and free of pain. For sometime now he has had this glossy look in his eyes where he stares and it seems as if hes looking right pass you. Its so scary to see those changes in him.
Family is a great support system (mom, siblings, spouses) outside family can be hard to deal with at times. As they cannot understand how there is no more treatment options avail. I have tried to educate them but I sometimes feel like I go in circles with them!!!
Again thank your kind words and support it has been much needed.
