LuBelle Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Is anyone dealing with Mesothelioma (cancer of the pleural space surrounding the lung)? My dad who will be 83 next month has it and doesn't want any kind of chemo treatment. Right now, he feels fairly well but I hate just waiting for the cancer to take over. We are enjoying him now, though. I support his decision and know that if he were taking chemo now, he may be sicker a lot sooner with the same outcome. I can relate to those of you who are so sad in knowing the inevitable. What a horrible disease cancer is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.C. Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 LuBelle, Your father is the one that knows how much his body can take, be there for him and enjoy all the time you have with him. Even without treatment but with medication he could enjoy life without pain. Hugs Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieB Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 LuBelle, I am keeping your dad in my thoughts and prayers.... He has to walk this path in his own way...it's hard to be on the sidelines. We understand and we are here for you. Hang in there, and please keep us posted.
