Deja Vu
Some of you might remember seeing this thread of mine a couple of months ago. "Passing" Thoughts
I want to let you all know, that an almost identical illness has struck my own family in the person of my dad.
My sister and I took him to the hospital a week ago thursday, suffering from various acutes pains and some other stuff. Aftter a load of tests and scans, we found out this thursday my dad has advanced Lung cancer, with Liver secondaries, and has only months to live.
We're still waiting to get the results of a liver biopsy back - that'll probably be on tuesday, and will tell the doctors exactly what type of cancer it is - but, as with my patient, treatment options appear to be limited, if not non-existent.
I have never been a great one for praying, I nust admit, although I find it quite ironic that since coming here (a bona-fide Porn site folks!!) I have done so with increasing frequency on others' behalf. I know find myself praying that my dad has as pain-free a time as possible over the coming months, as that is about the best he can hope for. I would be greatful if you could find a second or two to pray for him with me.
Thanks to some extra-special people here, too - you know who you are.
I love you
DM

For your father and for you and your family, the prayers are already a work in progress. God bless you DM and keep us informed and if there's anything we can do, just ask.
We love you you, my friend.

There is a time to place his life in the hands of his God and pray for the efficiency of morphine.
Many terminal people won't do morphine/pethedine because they are addictive drugs.
So what?? These medicines become addictive when they are not addressing pain.
The drugs will give hime a little more dignity and clarity when he most needs them.
If you have a local palliative care unit, speak to them yesterday and get the good oil.
In my prayers.

((((((DM))))))) I am so sorry to hear about your dad! I hope you take lots of time to cherish them moments you still have with him. Perhaps you can also buy a video camera (if you don't already have one) to capture some of those moments for later.
We love you, sweetie....and wish you peace in this tough time. I don't exactly pray, but I will keep you and your dad in my thoughts. ((((((DM))))))
