update on my dad I think everyones prayers are working ... dad is out of hospital and at home... he rang and said that they have decided to do some form of treatment(dont know what) that they think its his prostrate cancer thats escaped into other places... prostrate cancer is a slow form of cancer so he has longer than the few weeks that was originally the thoughts...they havnt given us a time frame but I am hoping he will survive till after Christmas. I am not going to Perth like I thought next week now since he is ok and he will be on treatment and my kids have colds so not agood thing to be around someone whos immune is low. thankyou so much for all the prayers (((((((((((((((((((all))))))))))))))))))))) I am coping ok I think the initial shock was worse now its kinda denial I guess or maybe thats my way of coping pretend like nothing is happening and take one day at a time :shrug: but yeah I am ok ATM ...it could also be all the prayers  |

I'm glad that there will be some treatment taking place and you'll have more time.
You can only take things one day at a time. Remember to put your faith in God. He's the one who can help you through this the most.
*hugs*

{{{hugs}}} I'm so glad he has more time. It's a good thing that you're dealing with this alright, too. One can spend too much time in a state of hyper-concern. May you be aware of God's presence with you and lean on Him for comfort and peace. I continue to pray.

well for those who have been praying for my dad this is all I know to date...
Dad was put back in hospital about a week ago
I got a call from my sister today and apparently the cancer might be in his bones, the lump in his belly is pressing against the bowel and they cant operate on that because it has too much blood supply. his Kidneys are not working properly and he is on dialysis.
he has fluid in his lungs so he is not breathing too well. he is bleeding somewhere and they don't know where and he is having to have blood put into him about everyday.
he is going for an operation tomorrow to put some back on him to bypass the kidneys or something...
the doctors wont say how long he has or really give much information which is really frustrating. since I need to travel 700kms to see him before he passes away and really need to know how long he has.
another thing is I think he is realising what a bad friend he has been to people... he is in hospital and hardly anyone has sent anything or come by or rung I guess when you are dying those kind of things haunt you
I honestly don't know how to feel...its like on one hand he hasnt been the best dad and I don't get on with him that well...on the other hand I love him and will miss some of his stupid ways...on one hand its like I am in some dream world and why should I get upset till after it happens on the other hand he is dying shouldnt I be upset
one thing I really want is for him to accept Christ once and for all as his saviour.
meh anyway thats all I know

I'll be continuing to pray for you and your family. Put your trust in God and ask for his guidance on what you should do. Don't let things go with anger in your heart. Say what you need to say and look for God to give you both peace.

Luv - any update? I can understand how you are feeling. I felt some of the same feelings for my dad before he passed. Now that he's gone, I miss him dearly. We didn't always get along very well either. Spend time with him while you can, whenever you can. Continue to pray for him to receive Christ. Tell him how much Christ loves him and wants him with Him forever.
I'll be praying.
((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))

thanks guys  ok I rang my middle sister last night... we are going to Perth the 1st,2nd and 3rd of september which the 1st is my sons 12th birthday and the 3rd is fathers day and will drive back the 4th. doctors have said the cancer he has is prostrate cancer which has moved into other parts of his body...prostrate cancer is a slow growing type of cancer and so if he looks after himself he may live a year to 18months give or take. he will be moving into a paltaive care type place in about another week or two....he cant go home since the huge growth inside him is pressing against his bowel and he has to be on laxatives twice a day to be able to poo. this mass also killed one kidney and most of the other kidney by pressing against the blood flow...the stint didnt work so he had an operation and now has a bag for urine. hmmm thats about all I know now. thankyou all for praying |

I didnt get to speak to dad about religion at all since his female friend was there saturday and he was complaining about everything then on sunday I didnt get a chance either meh anyway... I hadnt sen him for a few months he wasnt as pale as last I saw him but he has a bag for all his wee to go into... he was having to have fluids pumped into him intervenously... he is in a horrible room with 4 other men ... I was depressed just being there half a day.... he was able to come out to lunch with us but he ran out of breath very quickly and had to keep stopping... the growth in his stomache must be very large his stomache looked like he was having a baby they are not going to do any other treatment on it...they want him to find a nursing home soon and to get out of the hospital too:( he is having very depressed times and talks about getting a guy to come inject him with a lethal needle or going on a cruise and jumping overboard and stuff anyway thats about all I can tell ya |
