Quick update on dad

[mvd]

It's been a while since I have updated everyone on my dad's colon cancer.

All of the original cancer seems to be taken care of, but a couple more spots showed up on recent scans - one on the kidney and one in the lung. One possible in the colon again, but hard to tell right now. He's going back on chemo, but a modified version. Fortunately the new spots are small. But all thoughts and prayers would be appreciated - this is a really difficult disease. He still feels pretty good. Thank you all for your support.

4. Thanks femmocrat

It's been about a 3 year struggle now. And he's the same age David Bowie and Alan Rickman were, which scares me a bit. But fortunately it still seems controllable.

12. I don't know how old your Dad is... Mine's 80. Smoker.

Seven years ago he was chopping wood in Idaho. Today he won't get out of his little chair with the wheels.

God Speed to your Dad.

14. He's 69

Smoked for most of his life, but finally quit after his cancer diagnosis. Thank you all; your thoughts and prayers mean a lot to me.

18. Sending prayers

for strength and comfort for your dad, you, and your family. It is a difficult disease, and chemo is wretched treatment. I know from having been there it is heartbreaking for the family to see suffering they can't help abate, and enormously stressful for both patient and family to live in a heightened state of anxiety for so long. I hope your dad continues to manage the chemo, and that the treatment will be successful.
