Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Jim Kubisak So sorry to hear that you father has cancer - it is an ugly beast at best. Please - take extra good care of yourself, I know as I am sure you do - that stress can cause our own pain levels to sky rocket. I empthasize with you over wishing the year away - but do not wish away the time you have left with your father. Spend all the time with him that you can while you still have him. You will not ever regret spending time with him after the fact - it is the one gift you can give to both you and your father - precious time - let him know you love him now while he is still alive - I appreciate that you do not want him to suffer - none of us wish pain on anyone - especially not on those we love. If they determine that his cancer is advanced and not treatable, or he decides to not agressively treat the disease, please investigate a hospice service. Both of you will benefit from it - one of their major goals is to control the pain of the patient and to meet any of their spiritual needs. They will also offer support for you during the illness, his passing and after the fact for you. I will pray for both you and your father. God is wonderful and gracious. May he hold you in his blessings thru this. Do not feel bad about venting here, we all need a safe haven to vent to others who can appreciate our struggles. may things only get better for you and yours.
