Very sorry to hear! It seems like thats always how it happens. My thoughts are with you guys. I hope your dad comes out of this ok.

AM really sorry for you. This series of events makes you fell ****ed up.

thanks all. i got him back up to NJ and in for a consult with Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia PA...he went in for surgery 6/26 they removed the tumor and approx 7-8 inches of his upper intestine. The surgery went well and no bag was needed. Now waiting on pathology results to see what the deal is with chemo.

I think about your situation often. Best you can do is make sure he sticks to the recommended treatment.

Watching my son go through six rounds of level 5 chemo was tough. He is 18 months in remission now and the discomfort is mostly forgotten.

Be strong.

Best of luck to all of you. Be strong.
I moved Mom and DAD to NJ a few months ago too, due to health issues.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.. Hopefully the surgery went well

thank you all VERY VERY much...pops is feeling better, hoping his appetite comes back. the labs came back and they staged him at 3B...siiighe. the lymph nodes they removed were also "involved" and he is to start chemo the 3rd or 4th week of august. he has an appointment 7/30 with the oncologist to discuss the treatment and to find out how long n how strong of a cocktail he'll be receiving...dejavu really has him spooked. was 2 days from the year anniversary my mother was diagnosed....
