I hope he's ok. It's tough getting older and watching your folks go through so much. The hospital's been like a second home to me for the last 5 years.

Good luck.

 

 

I know, I was talking to my little bro last night about it. We have some tough times ahead, as does everyone when the family gets older. Not a very pleasant thought but it's going to be the way things go from this point on...

Good thoughts and mojo on the way.

 

My own dad has been battling cancer for a while now - a fairly vicious strain of melanoma. They tried chemo, radiation, surgery, interferon, etc. - nothing would touch it. It just kept spreading. But my father ALWAYS maintained a fighter's attitude and wouldn't give in. As a last ditch effort they decided to try a new treatment (interleuken 2). They told him it was a long shot, and that there was a greater chance that the treatment itself would kill him (and Lou Reed sings, "the sword of Damocles is hanging above your head"). My dad said, "go for it". The treatments were indeed VERY rough but they worked. They beat that {censored}ing demon. I just talked to my dad about an hour ago and got the news that today he got his latest test results back and it's an "All Clear" again (and has been for 18 months).

 

The upshot being that this {censored} CAN be beat. So let's just hope that his tests are all negative, but in the event that they aren't, don't lose hope. Keep the faith, and peace.
