Dad's fight is over after only 10 months

Hi All

My dad died early Tuesday morning. It was 1 month past his 70th birthday.
In the end he was having so much trouble breathing and his heart couldn't take it anymore.
Mom heard him fall on bathroom floor and had to perform CPR on speaker phone while waiting for paramedics. Mom just had a knee replacement 1 1/2 wks ago & this was extremely rough on her. He never got to sign a DNR so a breathing tube was inserted and they had to keep up chest thrusts every 5-10 mins or so to keep his heart going.
He was told in the beginning he would have about 1 1/2 years but we only had him 10 months.
The last few months were hard on him with thoracentesis, pleurodesis, transfusions, pains trouble breathing and chemo.
He just wanted a little more time to perfect his grandsons' golf swings and help the youngest with his batting.
Two days before he died he just wanted to lie on the floor because he was sooo weak and didn't want help to get up. The day before he died was like a miracle. he had on his oxygen but wasn't having labored breathing. We were talking about pssibly giving chemo a rest and start hospice and see if he would get any stronger.He spoke on the phone with some of his old friends from his teen years without any trouble. He even ate a little. He was very calm and relaxed. During the last week he was very depressed and anxious & I don't think he took his meds correctly. He seemed to be a little delusional at times.
During the last 6 months we lost his brother to Non Hodgkins, his mom to heart failure and just last week his dog died at 12 yrs. Thursdays won't be the same. Every Thursday I took dad & my portfloio filled with test results, doctor's visits' notes, meds list,& questions for the dr.to the oncologist's office for either a doctor visit, blood work or chemo.
I feel like there is a hole in my heart. This cancer is horrible. I especially go crazy when I see people smoking and think how stupid they are. I want to tell them about my dad & about his life with cancer and about how much his grandsons and his family will miss him.

Good Bye Dad.
