Hello,
I am sorry to hear about your father.
At 5:30 pm today, my Father also lost his battle with cancer. I
understand how you feel. It has only been a few months since my dad
was diagnosed with Lung cancer, and today we had to tell him that the
medice and oxygen will no longer make him any better and that as he
had asked before he got sick, we took him off of the machines tha were
only prolonging his life, and confining him to a hospital bed with no
chance of recovery or going home again. He nodded and said his good
byes as we said good bye to him... This is the worst day of my life,
I am 37 years old, my dad was 62.

Shawn, I'm so sorry. It just so sucks and it hurts. My dad, too, was only
diagnosed in January of this year with his cancer. It is a quick killer
sometimes, and I guess that's a blessing rather than prolong it for years.
That doesn't make it easier. My dad was 71. My dad also asked not to be on
life support and had a DNR.
