Less than one minute read time.

 

My dad had the camera's down him belly and also up.. with in a few minutes we knew  they had found something  as the Dr could not  go any further. right there and then he said it was "Cancer" Like that no explanation just the big C. biopsies where taken and were sent off to check but was told surgery would be happening by the 16th. Waiting is the hardest bit. and to be told that hen to be left hanging there. dad was then send for a CT scan a weeks later that was  30/08/10 and he go the results on the 03/09/10 its spread so its dukes stage 4 its spread to the liver and the lungs. He would not be having the operation and is know at present waiting on  the chemo  nurse or what ever to see whats going to be done. so thats the story so far.. but 5 years ago he was diognised with Leakemia wich he has gotten over and its all over again...

    Hi, Welcome to the site nobody wants to join....but you will be glad that you have.

    This site is full of wonderful people and many who have been in your position.

    The waiting is most certainly one of the hardest things with this disease. It seems to take forever for the dates to come round but please try not to second guess what the doctors may say.

    Hopefully the nurses will be able to offer your dad as they did mine some chemo to slow down any further spread . Your dad must be very strong to have already beaten leukaemia, he needs to find that fighting spirit once again to take on cancer now.

    I hope you can enjoy some good times and that the chemo nurse can come up with a good plan for him.

    Take Care hun and Just be there for him.
