Mnuccio2,just learned my dad is dying of stage 4 lung cancer. He is also suffering from severe pneumonia and lung blood clots and fluid around the heart. Doesn’t have much time. I’m devastated as this has come out of nowhere. We were just watching the Maryland game together. It’s crazy. I’m lost for words and dying inside as I’m scared to lose my anchor my father. Any words of advice. Looking to you guys for support. Thx
At the risk of betraying the otherwise somber tone of this beautifully thoughtful post, I extend my heartfelt congratulations and joy for your medical victory. You, sir, are now a grand example of hope for anyone fighting a similar fight.Lots of wisdom in these posts. Hard for me to add much that hasn't been covered.
Let me offer a somewhat different perspective. This year, I was treated for stage 4 colon and liver cancer. My treatment went better than I could have expected, and i had a great result. God willing, I've beaten this bastard.
From the time of my diagnosis, my main concern was for my kids. They're teenagers. I worried had I done enough for them, and I thought about not being around to help them in the future. I'm sure your dad would take comfort in knowing that he has done all that a father can do to prepare you for life, and while this is very hard, ultimately you will be fine. I think that's all any parent really wants.
God bless.
Pray for strength and guidance. Over and over. Keep your thoughts on what is best for your Dad and the rest of your family that may need you to have a clear head. Do your very best because in some mysterious way he and life prepared you for what you need to be right now. I've lost them all....in laws, parents, and my wife. I think we all "fall apart" at some point. The greatest tribute you can pay your Dad right now is to be there for him and your family. Please know that I am praying for you and Dad.
