Chemo Sucks! Crappy Christmas present.
 

Well my father has gone through 15 weeks of Chemo for his Cancer he had a catscan this week and an appointment with his Doc today,we were hoping for one more treatment and then I'd get him on a plane south to Fort Meyers. Well to make a long story short the mass is only down by about 25% so he needs another 16 weeks.....bummer :( Hope he has it in him.....So do me a favor and give your Fathers a huge hug this Christmas and keep Dad in your prayers.
Thanks
Don

Thank God it is in recession.

Hey, they have chemo in Fort Myers too! Have the doc get him hooked up down there!

Re: Chemo Sucks! Crappy Christmas present.
 

You and your father are in our thoughts.

I wish I could but I lost my father 31 years ago to a heart attack. Think about him on a daily if not hourly basis. :)

Re: Chemo Sucks! Crappy Christmas present.
 

Sorry to hear that. Help him "will" his way through it. Attitude is everything. He'll be okay.

Re: Chemo Sucks! Crappy Christmas present.
 

Boy, did your post hit home. Lost my dad in August of 1986 and it is still the worst day of my life.
I started telling him at the end of every phone conversation that I loved him for about a year before he died. It was awkward at first, but it got easier as time went on. Glad I did it.
Wish I could tell him one more time.

Dyno: Your pop is in my prayers.

Going there now he had a rough night.....nothing a 3 year old Grand daughter cant fix!! He's convinced himself that its his last Christmas....got to talk him back into a fighting spirit.

Re: Chemo Sucks! Crappy Christmas present.
 

Dang Don, he just can't get a break. Tell him I said hi and that I hope he feels better soon.

You might want to check into that chemo in Florida thing mentioned above.... there are doctors in every town... shouldn't have to stay here if you ask me. The trip down might be a struggle, but maybe it would be worth it???

Re: Chemo Sucks! Crappy Christmas present.
 

what if???? the government really has a cure for cancer, common cold, hiv, so on but won't release it because diseases are the government's only form of population control????

God Bless..... Your father is in my thoughts!

Re: Chemo Sucks! Crappy Christmas present.
 

NOT FUNNY

Re: Chemo Sucks! Crappy Christmas present.
 

Who let Catmando back on the board? :rolleyes:

Dumbass.

Re: Chemo Sucks! Crappy Christmas present.
 

Then 3 years ago my Mom would have died of cancer at 53 years young for population control :( :( very depressing thought ,,, thanks

Re: Chemo Sucks! Crappy Christmas present.
 

Don

i did not mean any disrespect when i made that comment... it's just something i've always wondered... i apologize if i offended anyone.

Re: Chemo Sucks! Crappy Christmas present.
 

Thanks castaway ... holidays are sometimes rough times when thinking about these things and whether it was fair / unfair / why / how / what else could have been done ... etc etc etc

No offense taken .... just missing Moms :( ;) Have a great New Years and like Dyno says ... give everyone you love an extral long meaningful hug the next chance you have ..

Re: Chemo Sucks! Crappy Christmas present.
 

hey dyno know where your coming from. my mom just got done with her chemo for the second go around. first when i was in high school, and now. she was put on a very aggressive chemo and had to go to the doctor everyday for 8 months for shots before her chemo . this time around was tough on her, and the family. sometimes its just as hard on the family as the patient. thoughts are with ya, this is her week to get her final tests back. keep him strong.....
