Caren Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Although my dad is feeling much better and able to come home tomorrow He has decided that he doesn't want to continue with treatment I thought that he might make this choice and as he daughter I will stand by his decision, although it hurts me to do so.

fillise Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 It is not uncommon to regain some strength and energy when streatment is stopped. I hope that is true for your dad so you can have some good days together. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminkw Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 You do have to respect your Dad's decision to stop treatment. It can be really rough, and there is much debate about quality vs. quantity of life. I do hope your father is not in pain and if he is, the family has a medical support system to make him comfortable.

shrimp Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I know how you feel. I just went through this with my father. If I can help, let me know. I remember your support during my fathers illness. It is still hard for me to come here, but it hurts less when I can maybe help someone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only questions that I have in my head are ones that I don't think anybody will be able to give answers to and so I don't ask them.

KatieB Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Caren, I'm so sorry for what all of you are going thru. Maybe he will reconsider when he begins to feel better- but if not, then enjoy the time you have together and make it QUALITY time vs. the quantity. My heart and prayers continue for your dad and you as you embark on whatever is next. (((hug))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
