Please Say Prayer for My Dad

mindy10

Hi everyone, well I have been on the couch crying for the last hour and boy do I have a headache. My dad goes in Wednesday for a Cat Scan after being off chemo for 3 months. The Chemo shrunk his tumor real small so they gave him a break. Im just a emotional wreck thinking of Wednesday. I feel so bad for him because I know he is scared and there is not a darn thing I can do to help him. Then of course I start to think of all these things on how will I live without a dad. I know people out there have lost their parents and life goes on. I just adopted a baby and she is my life and future now and I must go on but I just dont see how you can ever be happy again once you lose a parent. Im sorry this is so long but Im having a bad night. Thanks for listening and If you could just please say a prayer for Bob I believe in the power of prayer. Melinda

Hi Melinda,
I can certainly relate to the fear of losing a parent. It is not easy to watch our parents go through this. It is just not fair. My mom is stage 3 starting chemo on tuesday for 6 months and i often fear her leaving me as she is my best friend. I think the best thing is to be there when they ask and when they don't ask. I wonder my self if i could live without her and it makes me sad. I think for me it is normal to feel our fears and it does help to talk about it and try to get all the support you can. Good luck and I will certainly pray for you and your father.

Hi Melinda,

I hope that today finds you feeling better. Waiting for tests and their results always gives us reason to be anxious, but since your dad's last scans showed good results, I pray that these will as well. I will be thinking of you both on Wednesday. Let us hear how everything goes.

Hugs,

Kay

Hi Mindy,
I was just wondering how your Dad's scan went. My dad also has colon cancer...I know exactly how you feel about losing a parent. I can't imagine being able to go on with my life without my parents there. Hang in there -Nicole
