Why did it take so long to get him to the doctor?

he refused to go. he is so ready to die. I know he is tired and knows where he is going when he does and he just wants to go. I say ok to that but let's get him comfortable you know? like be able to sleep more than 15 minutes at a time at night.

Bebop

I have an elderly friend who suffered from bladder cancer, and everyone thought all hope was gone. He survived the treatment and is still going strong today.

Your father is most definitely in my prayers. Whatever is causing your father to suffer, I hope and pray it can be treated and resolved. If not, you'll know you've done everything possible to save him - and he KNOWS how much you love him.

{{{{{{{{{{Be}}}}}}}}}}}} I'm so sorry! Please be careful that you don't "name it and claim it", ok? Counter your doubts and fear with your faith.

You've got my prayers.

thanks sabby. I know right now he just does not feel well at all. mostly he is laying around the house.

kathy thanks. I know that it can be treated if caught early. We have been going thru this with him for well over a year with him getting no treatment. He is losing weight and just looks bad. I keep praying though

Tomi thanks hon. I guess I am preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.
