Well it's been a while since I last post here. I just want to thank everyone for their prayers, and support. My father lost his battle with Cancer on Sunday night. He is in no more pain, and he is in a better place that is what is getting me through. I was able to visit with him on several occassions. I had just came home earlier that Sunday. But something was so different about this weekend than any other, he seemed more at peace, and he wasn't in that much pain. The doctors had stated 5 months to 5 years depending on him. So I am going to say it was of the lesser. It had by this time spread to his stomach and no amount of radiation was getting to it and making it better. So they gave up treatment and told my mom that it was nothing else for them to do. I am sad, I am going to miss him of course. But I know we will get through it. Thanks again for your prayers and support.

Thanks everyone for all of your replies of comfort. I know in my heart that he can out live us all, but I just wanted to be prepared as much as possible when and if that time ever came. I am the only one in our family that has a decent job, so I know that everyone will be looking at me for the bulk of the expense. He is on medicare or medicaid one of them now, my mom says that they help with stuff like that but I don't know. He is not the first in his immediate family that has succumb to this ugly thing. From my grandmother who is his mother to 3 sisters and 3 brothers that all have died from some form of Cancer. I don't think but one ever went through chemo and radiation though. I am hopeful though, right now they live in NC they have been there for many years moved there in my grandmother's home when she passed away. I try very hard not to let it get me down, and I have succeeded in doing that, but some days like yesterday I was on one of my days Again thanks for all the support. I will keep you posted.

Hi my name is Renee, and about a year ago I found out my father had lung cancer. He has/is going through radiation and chemo. The tumor on his lung has strunk, but the cancer has spread to his hip bone, I was reading online some where that sometimes bone cancer is related to having chemo and or radiation on another part of your body. He is weak I know I can hear it in his voice when I speak with him. I'm sad today. You can never prepare yourself to much for the death of a love one, however you know that they will be in a better place. He is still smoking that in itself saddens me. There is no life insurance and when I first found out he was diagnosed with cancer I think I called every insurance agent in the world and they refuse a policy on him. I tell my mom just to go talk with funeral homes just to prepare herself and she doesn't want to. It seems as if I am more concerned than everyone. I am thinking of the big picture, the what if you know. I'm sorry everyone. I will keep everyone posted. Thanks for listening.
