I'm not sure if you're out there or even checking in but I wanted to let you know I was thinking about you (and your Dad). I wanted to know how you were getting along.. I'm sure it's not easy.
I can see where you get your determination and stregnth. Your father sounds like a formidable man.
Situations like this are just so difficult to comprehend and I'm sure you're feeling like there is nothing you can do; and I'm afraid that's pretty true. These things just happen, and no one can do anything.
I hope you find strength, maybe even from your dad.
You're in all our thoughts. Please keep us updated.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. But like what everyone says, your dad seems like the fighter I see in you. It's amazing all the things he's accomplished and will accomplish. Best wishes to the both of you.
It sounds as though being a fighter runs in your family. I too would be afraid but that's normal. When someone we love has to go through ordeals that we can't fix it's hard. My son is only 2 and has already had heart surgery and will again in the future so I know what it's like to feel helpless.
You've been given the gift of time already Diva...savour those moments. As it sounds you're dad was meant to be here and you'll have many more moments to share.
You're dad definitely is a fighter! His staying strong throughout the first time is a miracle, and shows a lot about the strength you have in your bloodline. Keep your head up, Doc! You will prevail!
So sorry to hear about your dad. It sounds like you dad is a fighter and is pretty tough, so I am sure that he will make it through the operation with flying colours! However, I do understand that the thought of invasive surgeries is scary. Stay strong, especially for your dad
What a fighter your dad is Diva , amazing man . I am really very sorry to hear you news and wish you dad all the best for his op .
Glad you are talking to him again , its a time when you both need each other . What a terrible year your having . Massive hugs , take it easy if you can . xx
My dad was diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer about 5-6 years ago. He was told he had three months to live. But with proper care, strength and a great attitude he is still alive today. He has had to go through several operations though and has gone through more round of chémotherapy then I can remember. Last year, the cancer had moved to his lungs. He had chemo again and then had a lung operation. There was one nodule left on one of the lobes in his lung. It wasn't growing but they still had him do chemo in case. Then the chemo was over and the nodule was still not growing so he was finally chemo free and healing from his last operation.
He wrote me an e-mail today. I got bad news. The nodule in his lung has started growing again and they will have to operate him yet again. I get so scared when he has to go in to get operated! Those are such invasive surgeries. The will cut into his lung! I feel so afraid for him. I replied and told him I sent him love and strength and did my best to seem calm and supportive but in my head and heart I am freaking out!
. Massive hugs , take it easy if you can . xx
