I've been (and will be) off the board a bit lately. My dad has been fighting pancreatic cancer. He's in the hospital now and it's much worse than we thought. He's been through chemo and radiation, but it's back with a vengence. I'll be visiting you all for my daily smile, but won't be here long.
I can't imagine a world without daddy in it. :wub: We could lose him very quickly if they don't get the sepsis under control. They are talking in terms of weeks now unless he steps up with more invasive chemo options. I think he's done with that, but he may decide to fight it a bit longer. For the prayerful among you, please remember him. We've resigned ourselves that we will lose this fight, but want him to be at peace and not to endure any more pain or fear than needs be. I appreciate any good thoughts or prayers for Daddy, my children (and myself too please). Okay, my keyboard is literally wet from my blubbering and spelling may be nasty, sorry. I'm off to paste a smile on and back to the hospital. Y'all play nice. I'll see you in a day or two. If you still have your father, call him today and tell him how wonderful he is.

I am so sorry for what you are going through. I lost my father to cancer almost eight years ago and still think about him everyday. I had spent 90% of my life calling him Dad and when he was very ill I just started calling him Daddy. I guess the thought of losing him brought the little girl in me back.
Miracles do happen though - so I will pray for one for your Daddy.

dbuckBeach FanaticKY3,966 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticLynne, I am so sorry to hear about your daddy. I will keep your dad, you and your family in my prayers. I lost my daddy 7 yrs ago to cancer (he was only 57) and even though we knew it was inevitable, we are never ready. Take care.
Thank you all for the kind words and especially the prayers. Daddy was stable last night when I left, he's in fair spirits and is still worrying about us instead of himself. (Typical for him) I have to run, want to be there when the doctor comes, but thank you all for your kindness. Funny how close you feel to me. I will be visiting here sometime over the weekend, this is a wonderful place to escape. Talk to you all soon.

njackieBeach Lover218 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach LoverI am now crying too, my precious Dad is also dying of cancer, he has undergone all the chemo and radiation that is possible. He was diagnosed over Christmas break, my sister called me in Grayton Corners, with esphoical (sp) cancer which had also spread to his lymph nodes and we did not even know he was sick! But the cancer was detected through a scope. Everything we think we have except for our families seems so foolish now. What seemed important really was not. I wish you so many prayers and remember me too. We are blessed with good Dads, who loved their families and came home every night! We must never forget that either!
