Welcome Yirol,
I myself am new here as well, but everyone here is so very kind and helpful. My father was diagnoised with stage IV colon cancer last June 2006 at the age of 48, the docs wanted to just give him meds to keep him comfortable, but I fought for him to receive treatment. His cancer markers were at 668 last June. It was a long hard road, not the first to be traveled down, nor the last, but as of May 1, 2007, his cancer markers are at 9.2, and they declared him in remission. My point, please don't give up. There is hope, just keep praying. Miracles really do happen. My prayers are with you and your father.
P.S.
I love the rain too. I feel the same as you do about the peaceful, cleansing, calmness of it. Take Care, and God Bless.
