Just Found Out My Dad Has Cancer

sorry to hear that. i wish your dad the best

 

best of luck, man.

i just lost my aunt(lung cancer), so all i can really say is, best wishes, hope he gets better.

 

hey man.. cancer isn't an automatic death sentence.. doctors and our treatment methods have come a long ways even in the past 5 years.

does your father blaze? i'm sure you've seen this article already but if not: http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn6283. There's evidence that THC can retard the cancers ability to spread, not to mention it's already proven as an appetite stimulant for chemo patients.

either way, keep your head up and support him and your family the best you can. I'm thinkin about you and smoking this freshly packed bowl for your dad, and i hope and pray he can beat it

 

OMG, i totally read that somewhere to, why the hell is this stuff illegal?

 

Oh bro I'm so sorry to hear that, I'll definitely send a prayer out to your family.

I don't know how my mom does it--she's an Oncology Cancer Nurse [she gives radiation, infusion therapy, and chemo to patients each and every day]..but she loves her job, and thats her passion.

 

My father was diagnosed with cancer(non-hodgkins lymphoma, fairly advanced) a while back, he's been clean for a couple years now. Be there for him, and tell him what you told us. Radiation can be rough, but chemo is worse.

I'm not going to lie to you, it was the single hardest thing I've ever lived through, and I wasn't even the one that was sick. As hard as it is, if you all break down so will he. You have to stay strong so he can have strength. Be his reason to fight.

I wish you and your family the best man, I know how hard it is. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or just wanna vent/chat at someone who's been there. If there's anything I can do...let me know.

 

Head up young man, statistically speaking fewer and fewer people are dying of cancer these days. Cancer treatment has advanced light-years from where it was a handful of years ago and is still increasing its knowledge everyday. (Try to stay positive.) I wish I could explain what these challenges in life mean and how you can cope, but if I did I'd be shielding you from what you'll learn from all this. It sounds like you have a deep and close bond with your father, that's amazing and precious because it's that bond that's going to give you the strength to endure all this.

Trust yourself bro and that wonderful energy you share with your father.

I'm going to get somewhat cliché by saying but here it is, "you must try to remain positive as much as you can. Bad things always happen but if we begin to expect them they come with more and more frequency. We're all self-fulfilling prophecies in a way because we become what we imagine, so please imagine some hope.

Peace and blessings to you and yours.

 

hey man you gotta keep positive. I just found out my mom had breast cancer, but I KNOW she's going to pull through. Just give all the support you can give and best thing to do is to KEEP positive. I wish the best for him and your family.

 

Sorry to hear man, I hope things are alright.

 

He's in my prayers, good luck to you and your family

 

my father played in the National Football Leauge for 13 years. He was recently diagnosed with Alzheimers disease. it is hard for me to see him and not get upset by knowing things like where i work will never sink in and will constantly be a question i will forever have to be asked... I love him to death but see him sinking deeper into a sea of forgetfullness...

 

sorry to hear this. its a pretty tough road from here. i've seen people go through cancer and you see miracles and tragedies. try to stay positive obviously, but above all, keep your cool. it would be foolish to say this isnt going to be hard for you and your family, but like i said you have to adjust.

 

shalom mind if i asked if he smoked cigs?

if he didnt thats a case for weed doing it, but because the interesting thing is that weed is being potentially found to slow down both cancer and alzheimers

but sorry, good thoughts your family's wau for sure man

 

theres so many more factors that go into lung cancer than just smoking cigs or weed. environment has a lot to do with it. previous jobs (mesothelioma anyone?) are a big factor as well

 

Oh man, my heart goes out to you and the rest of your family. Like others have said, keep you head up, stay positive and your family will get through this. Prayers go out to you, your fam and especially your dad.

 

i know, it jsut got me thinkign when the threads about lung cancer and theres a post about alzheimers, then i thought how both of those can be helped by weed, what a crazy plant.

i got a carried away

 

I often find myself wishing that I had the ability to erase someones pain with words, a touch or a gesture.

I'm very sorry to hear about your father, and he'll definatley be in my thoughts.
Positive thinking does wonders, never lose hope..because hope has indescribable powers!
I'm sure everything will be fine man..

 

My mom was an anatomic pathologist... i.e., her job was diagnosing cancers. Ironically, she died of ovarian cancer in 2005. Shit sucks, but it happens. Eventually, you'll stop thinking about it all the time.
