    The clinical trial that my Dad agreed to did not work. In fact, his cancer levels went from 20% to 60%, from the start date to now.

    We are all devastated.

    After reading Trinity's posts about Gaffer. I feel the need to pray.

    It is the best and only thing I know to do

    Today is Dad's birthday. They said he would not make it 3 months. Well he is still with us.

    Never underestimate the power of God's love that is expressed through family. I believe the love of family is one of the best medicines on earth. And of course, the prayers that are sent through friends and family.

    Thank you all for praying for my Dad.

    You guys are a wonderful bunch.

    I am not sure what to say right now. The past 2 weeks have been just awful. I was deathly ill. and my Dad and his last surviving Brother both have cancer. Regrettably my Uncle past away on the 14th. He was truly my fav Uncle. I admired him almost as much as my Dad. My Dad was sosad about hs Brother.Heis too sick to attend the funeral.

    Today I learned that my Dad has been taken off any kind of treatment, hospice care has been called in. That scares the hell out of me. I do not know what this world will look like without my Dad in it.

    Thank you all for being here and for the prayers. My Dad is the last surviving member of his siblings.

    I love admire and adore my Father. He is the first man I ever fell in love with. I love you Dad.

    My Condolences

    Life is but a fleeting thing
    We sometimes wonder why we're here
    "Nearer my God to Thee" we sing
    And yet the pathway is not clear
    Some move on to guide the way
    While others bide in time's delay
    Soon enough we'll go there too
    And dwell with loved ones that we knew

    I'm sorry to hear all of this, Pixie. Spend as much time with your Dad as you can. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers.

    Very sorry to read about your Dad and his terminal illness. I lost my Father to pancreatic cancer when I was 15 years old.

    I am so sorry to hear of all the bad going on for you Pixie, I pray it gets better. Pixie sometimes when things look the worst you have to just place it all in Gods hands, he will help get you through all of this and although we miss those he has taken home already in time we all will be there.

    Prayers lifted.

    Default never easy

    Thirteen years ago, my Dad left this world. I remember a friend telling me at the time that I was hurting so bad because no man in a woman's life ever will love her as unconditionally and completely as her father. Very true but it taught me my value as a human being. Please know your father will always be with you in the lessons he taught you and the strength you find to deal with the world. I will light a candle for you and send my wishes that you and he and your whole family find peace.

    Nothing harder than losing a parent , child or sibling. Unfortunately I had lost all three of those by age 22. My Dad in 1969, baby boy in 1975 and youngest brother (14) in 1976...--Tyr
