Strength to you and your family during this difficult time.

Got yall on the prayer list at church, hoping for the best Todd.

Thanks everyone.
Got to talk with a nurse today to see what they found out on the MRI.
They found three "nodules" on his brain, and a "mass" on his cheek, so it's sounding worst every day now. Tomorrow or Wed. they are going to start chemo I guess, just don't know...
I know for damn sure, this ole boys going to be making himself an appointment for the dreaded colonoscopy pretty soon. Father's brother had the same thing happen to him five year ago, so it's in the bloodline.
I'm afeared things are going to get ugly around here before long.:bash2:

Prayers for your family Todd.. Cherish your dad as our time is very short on this earth.,..

Thanks for the update Todd,

As promised prayers are being sent out daily for you and your family!!

Hang in there and stay strong. My mother once told me something that has hung with me many years... God will never put more on you than you and him together can't handle!

We are all with you!

Thoughts and prayers continued, Todd!

Thanks for the update Todd, sorry to hear things are getting worse. We're all hoping your dad's situation improves, if you ever need to talk just give me a call.

Truly appreciate everything guys. It means a great deal to us.
Change of plan after finding it on his brain, instead of 46 hours of chemo every two weeks, it's now 2-3 hours for three straight days, then again every two weeks. Re-scan in two months to see if there is any improvement, and go from there.
A good friend of fathers stopped in to see me today, and after the hugs and crying stopped, he said this to me. "Seems like every week you hear, did you hear about the guy down the road, or the lady up the road, seems like it's your turn to be the guy down the road this time".
And I guess there is some truth to that, it's always someone that's going through it, but this time it's us.:bigthink:
My biggest problem is being home alone 10 hours out of a day, and living in the home place where I growed up, everywhere I look I remember father doing this that or the other thing. The mind wonders, and emotions run...
He's a tough old bird, so I'm just hoping the chemo will rid him of some of the pain, and he can come home again, even if it's not as long as we'd like.

Oh, my. Just saw this thread. Thoughts and prayers. One day at a time.

Sorry Todd, I just saw this thread. It sounds like they are trying an aggressive approach toward his chemo. Your dad is a strong willed man.....and so is his son (you). The idle time that you have can be havoc on your psyche, reflect on those memories and not only smile because they happened, but stay positive for many more!! Harpo (Adolph) Marx, said in his book (Harpo Speaks), "It's sad when someone passes and even sadder when a great man passes. Its doubly sad when the greatness passes before the man." Sounds like your dad is going to need someone to keep the spirits up and never lose hope for what might be. It's not just the person in our life, but the life in the person that takes our breathe away and forever imprints in our memory.

When my dad was in the hospital with multiple myeloma, another man told me that he had the same thing and the doctors gave him 6 months to live and then he told me that was 11 years ago! Only One Being knows and abides by that timeline.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
