    My dad finally saw the oncologist....

    Glad you're dad has a treatment plan even if the plan is "wait and see". Having followed BAC for a long time (my dad had BAC with Adeno too), this seems like a very good plan. You want to save the "big guns" for whenever they may be needed. As you probably know, there are some on the BAC list, who've never had treatment. I hope your dad is one of them.

    My father lived almost 6 years after diagnosis. He saw his younger daughter and first grandchild get married and he got to London, Paris and Rome. He also was able to live independently and take complete care of himself right up to the last two months -- cooked, shopped, enjoyed Starbucks visits, his Netflix... In the end, he really fought dying. He did not want to "go". Was it worth the treatments to my Dad? Yes, without a doubt.

    Congratulations on your 5 years and may you enjoy many more years.

    How lucky Buddy was that you found him --I'm glad that he's a good pal to you as well. Now hurry and buy Buddy that quilt so you can stay warm too.

    YES!!! Our municipality only allows us to put out 2 gabage cans a week. When all the kids were home, there were 6 of us. Had to recycle or??? We recycle paper, newspaper, cardboard, soup cans... Also teach an environment unit in school and focus on the 3 R's so I'd better practice what I preach.

    Fatigue as a family member

    Andrea,

    I left my home to care for my father on June 22. Then my Dad passsed 6 weeks later on Aug. 1st. I also had to put down my dog (whom I very dearly loved) just 2 weeks ago. I have been totally exhausted and I mean that, more tired than I've been in my whole life. I often have difficulty sleeping and on the few occasions where I do get a good night's sleep, I'm still very tired. I keep thinking I should go back to my fitness center to try to get into shape again and have more energy but I'm simply too tired to do so.

    Take care of yourself Andrea. You have a lot on your plate right now and need any and all "treats' you can give yourself.

    Glad to have you back.
