My dad was diagnosed in Feb 2009 with Liver Cancer. My dad died on Saturday 19th of Dec 2009. My dad was a strong fit and healthy man, a man who never complained about physical work and was the rock of our family. He was a generous, kind and loving man, though I had my ups and downs with him. The decline health wise in my dad came on very suddenly. Only a few weeks ago, I kind of almost forgot that he even had Cancer. But 3 weeks ago he bacame very jaundiced and had Odema in both legs. He couldnt walk or get up off the chair on his own. He was told that there was no other treatment available for him. On Thursday I took him to the hospital and was very weak and needed a wheelchair, he was still making plans for next year and christmas. Thursday evening he was rushed to hospital as he had internal bleeding. He never recovered, he lasted until Satrurday evening and all his family were around him kissing him and telling him we loved him. I know he could hear us. I am distraught and my hear pains for him. This is so hard and cannot get the image of my frail dad out of my mind. I wanted to say that I love my dad so much. I will miss him terribly and want to give all my love to all the others in a similar situation.
Thank you
