I've always turned to this board for support. Today is no different. Just buried my dad 2 days ago - cancer. Not sure if it truly was lung cancer or prostate cancer that spread. doesn't quite matter now. He fought so hard but between doctor screw ups and weakened system he just oculdn't win the battle. I just had my 1 year colonoscopy when he went into the hospital. I have my CT's Monday. So far I am still NED. Rest peacefully dad, I will miss you. Thank you for letting me share.

    My prayers and thoughts are with you....
    ....and your family. I hate this disease so I know how mad you can be about it taking someone you love.

    I just happen to believe he is no longer in pain and will always be there for you when you need him. I believe just because they leave this earth and their bodies doesnt mean they leave us completely. My prayers are with you...

    God BLess you and your family during this very hard time.

    ALL MY CODOLENCES
    There are no sweet, comfort words that can replace or soothe what you are feeling now. But, like many others said it, he is in a better place now, and he will be watching over you. And always remember that he will be there for you anytime you would need him.
    All my sympathy

    I'm sending hugs...
    I'm sorry for your father's passing. It is always hard to say 'goodbye' to a beloved family member. I lost my dad many years ago...but I still have him in my heart. And I still can picture him on many occasions...

    Hugs, Kathi
