Hi all

 

just to let you now that i haven't forgotten you all. i have been looking in occasionally but have not replied to some threads. don't worry folkes it's nothing anyone here has said or done. unfortunatly this past month has been a month of mixed emotions. At the begining of the month my dad was rushed into hospitlal with pains in his side. After a week of tests and scans we were told that he had a groth on his liver and it may be cancerous and had to go to Adambrooks in Cambridge for further tests. as you could imagine that hit us but they was not sure so there was hope.

then on the 17th of the month (2 days after the news of my dad) my daughter Laura gave birth to my first grand child a lovely boy named Ryan, emotions running high again. i have some pictures and will post one soon to show him off.

 

We took dad to Adambrooks last Monday for more tests and a biopsee unfortunatly our fears were comfirmed and he has cancer growing in his liver

to which we were told that they are 99.9% certain there was nothing they can do for him. If the liver was replaced the growth would grow again. cemo would do no good either for some reason or another. The only thing that they can give him is a drug to slow the growth down.

We have to take him back Thursday to see the specialest to talk through to see if they can come up with some more options. as there is a .1% chance they can.

 

sorry to have bored you all but just thought i would let you now while i haven't been around

Regards

Paul, we have never met and most likely will not but your experience is one we have in common. I can only say my thoughts are with you mate and your parents!

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??

(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))

Thanks for posting your news it is indeed the most sad and the most happiest.

I am deeply sorry for your fathers condition but even the smallest chance is worth hanging on to. I am delighted at your feelings for the lastest family member I remember well how it felt for me. My parner went through a very bad time with cancer and at one time was only given a 20% of survival just to get through one night. She did and is remission. I don't know to much about praying but I did ask for help from unknown powers to be, and may be that did help. I also think of other members on this site who are going through similar ordeals I don't tell them but I do look skyward and think of them because even though I do not know them in person they mean so much by their heartfelt and brave to conversations with us.

By sharing your thoughts with us on AN is a priviledge for us all and maybe collective thoughts migh do some good.

Sharing and the telling of your troubles can be a great relief and I know it is intimately shared and thought about by all of us. I have had some wonderful pm's of encouragement.

I don't really know what else to say but never give up hope.

One of those occasions when words fail me. Hope that the 1% is achieved. My prayers and thoughts go out to you and your Dad. I've been there and know what your going through.

 

Congratulations on being a "GRANDAD". Life is all ups and downs so heres hoping your downs end and your ups get you soaring.

 

As I always say we just keep on hanging on.

When I was diagnosed as having a tumour on my kidney, I put up a post entitled 'My destiny is no longer my own' My choice of words could not have been more prophetic.

The nasty thing about cancer is, it's there working away, and you don't even know! My left kidney was totally overwhelmed and had reached stage 3 of 4 stages before I knew I'd a problem.

I have been given a 50% chance of being here in five years after it's removal and am currently undergoing immunotherapy with chemotherapy to follow. I wish your dad the very best of luck,

you just don't know where the fickle finger of fate is going to point next.

I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show to any fellow - creature, let me do it now, let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
