Picking up My Father from the Cancer Clinic Video.avi




Taking my father in to get what is a therapy that is not now chemo therapy but a combination of things is one that I have not done in some while. Thought I would post this as in no manner am I on a vacation, nor am I on a venture of doing anything but what is what we deem fit.


I have been a care giver on the side for this man which is my father and I do take the time to tend to his situation....so where there is hope there is always a way and means.

He can no longer take normal chemo therapy but at the same time there was a time when this all hit him that he had only two weeks to live. Yet he has surprassed that time and still keeps on ticking...

  2. He has done very well he has stage 4 non hodgkinds and he has had more that 6 epidsodes thereafter and as well six mini stroke as only one functioning kidney....

    Yet he makes the day work for him...
    And I am a proud contributor to this place that is tied in with the Mayo Clinic.

  3. No don't get me wrong - I literally had this all when I returned from NYC to Canada and he had two weeks to live with three masses.
    I have come to accept it for what it is and I certainly do love my father, yet I am tending to more needs. Which goes with the territory of family...Jan I keep it rather real...in comparision to some on here.
    I hope your father is doing well - this is all really about acceptance...

  12. Back 9 years ago it was all a test as literally he had two weeks to live and we as a family imported trial chemo from the mayo clinic. Ironically GG he survived it there is a long story to this and to be totally honest with you the Initiative portion of this Id was based on that before I got on yahoo with anything.

    So he has but it has not been easy on the family - I found that I used to be very used to this and would meet with everyone where as now I really try my best to just adjust with it.

    He is a strong one though....
    Only those that have been there understand this thing called Cancer...

    Hugs. Tess*

  14. You can hear my name in there and yes I am not fabricated and hey I do accept it just sometimes I guess people all have there vents - seemingly it's all within the words and everyone of us would do the same thing - so often I am very mistaken. So I love to just write and with all I just know what is of value. My intentions are never negative, yet I am not perfect we all are imperfect but we enjoy life as we do it.

    Hugs back there Tessy ~ :)

  16. You're right Jack--in the end that's our only weapon against these complicated modern medical prognosis and our own hearts and love for our family--beyond faith, that is.

    Your dad reminds me of my own father. A people person.
