I'm so sorry, DV. I hope you have a safe trip back home and that you are able to make some special memories with your dad in the coming months.

Devo, that is terrible news. Your father is a very brave person and I wish him
the best. Losing a loved one to cancer is a very tough thing. Just stick by
him and make everything as comfortable as possible for him. He'll appreciate
that most of all. Take care and good luck. I wish I had something more of
substance to say here. I've been in your situation before and nothing can
really help or fix it. You just have to live thru it.

Like WC posted, "You just have to live thru it".

Spend as much time as you can and please don't be afraid to talk about anything with him.
I say this because I didn't discuss "wishes" with my mother and then had to make decisions myself as to what she would have wanted.

Gonzai is so right, "Memories last forever!!"

and try to give him the things he wants in order to make him happy... if he wants to eat chocolate mixed with corn go ahead and ask him if he wants the chocolate melted on top or on a different dish. Stuff like this would make him happy.

Sad news, DV, but it's good that you've had this advance warning so you can pop back home and see him. Take care!

I'm very sorry about your dad DV. My grandmother is sorta going thru the same thing. Doctors have been telling us for almost two years now that she doesn't have long to live due to cancer in her lungs and only about 10% of her lungs are functional but she has hung on this long!

I'll keep him, you and the rest of your family in my prayers. *Hug*

*sends hugs an' prayers*

I know what it's like to lose family to cancer. (i lost my cousin) I hope you have the max amount of time together.

Seems no matter how much time you have, it is never enough.

I'll keep a candle burning for you.

*HUGS* I'm sorry

I lost an uncle to lung cancer, so I can understand how you feel. I hope things get better for you and your dad!
