My Daddy has lung, throat, and brain cancer. He's getting radiation every day for two weeks to try to shrink the brain tumors. After that, he starts 6 to 10 weeks of chemo to shrink the lung/throat cancer. Hopefully, if he has any other cancer, that will also be shrinked by the chemo

What can we say but that we love you and are thinking of you. Your Daddy is blessed to have you at his side, full of love and admiration. Daddy's are resilient by nature, especially those with daughters like us :). Though I don't talk about it much, my father overcame cancer about eight years ago. I have nothing but the utmost hope that yours will overcome as well.

Big hugs and empathy tears XOXO

It's so scary to think about losing a parent. You are literally half of two people in the world and there's a certain void that losing one of those halves will leave. My Dad has survived a heart attack, falling down stairs, shattered vertebrae, surgery, and falling off a roof. If my Dad were a cat, he'd be running out of lives. I remember being in the hospital after my Dad went through surgery for the vertebrae and cutting my Dad's toe nails. He didn't have the strength to do it, so I did. He couldn't speak well either because of the tubes and plus they go through the front to get to the spine and I sat on his bed beside him and clipped his toe nails. It seems so silly to say that this was important to me, this mundane task, but it was what I could offer, so I offered it. And it made me feel connected to him, intimate. As close to climbing up on his lap and putting my arms around his neck as I could get, as he was sore you see. I didn't want to crowd him, but I would have. So if your Dad has the strength, my suggestion is

Reading everyone's responses made me tear up. You have so much support here for you, so do what you need to do to take care of your Daddy with knowing that we are all here if you need us. Even though you may not feel like you are doing enough, you are doing it above and beyond. I am sure there are no words that he could say to express the gratefulness that he feels for you right now.

I send you a big hug, many supportive roses, and lots of thoughts -hopefully with out getting in your space ;)
