[QUOTE="Steely, post: 91405, member: 3301"] So so sorry..............I feel your pain. [img]:frown:[/img] Six months ago my Dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 Brain Cancer. A Glioma Blastoma Multiforme............one of [i]the[/i] most deadly cancer there types there is, and only a 6 month survival time was given. Now, I am not very religious, and my father is agnostic..........but this is nothing short of a miracle. He had the tumor removed, he had chemo, and radiation.............and it has been 6 months..........and the tumor is not back. Everyone is calling his case amazing, unprecedented! No one could/can/ or would expect this. Certainly not me. I was preparing to bury him around Christmas. So my message is.......... cancer is a variable. Even when the doctors tell you the bad news - never, ever lose hope. You just DON'T know, you can't know. The body is not a science, although many doctors like to believe it is. I am sure my Dad will die from this cancer..............someday. But he has been given years to live the end of his life now, instead of months. Nobody can know what a blessing that is, until they were given only months to say goodbye. My Dad and I have experienced so much healing in our relationship in these last few months, so, so much healing. Forty years worth..........something I would have never had if he had died suddenly. Life works in strange ways. Fight the good fight. It will all be OK. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. [/QUOTE]
