�Dad’s colon cancer progress

by: Donna
Dad just spent the last week in the hospital….very dehydrated and i guess the chemo wiped out his immune system…that was only his first go….�

he is now considering not taking any more treatments and is quite disgusted that his next appointment with the oncologist is only 15 min….i told him that his talk with the nurses before his appointment will be a better discussion than with the doctor….�

i asked if they thought dad was stage 4 when he first started to get sick and they said probably…which i thought and i know the median life expectancy is 11 months with no treatment…�

so if he started to get sick in June….i figured about may…ish…and the nurse that i talked to said probably spring….�

they still haven’t told dad how much time..the oncologist wont give any indication…..but we have talked to dad about quality of life not quantity….and right now he agrees…….�

I know that if he doesn’t do anymore chemo that he will go downhill pretty fast and we are now prepared for that….this is harder than with my mom…..we found out and three weeks later she was gone…..�

i have no regrets with dad….we have had a good relationship all along and we can only be there for him now until the end…just wish we lived closer but we cant change that….�

Thanks for taking the time to write…and i am glad that i did my own research so that i now what is going on…because dad gets so confused
between the local doctors, the ones in the hospital and the ones at the cancer clinic…�

dad said this next time in Saskatoon he will get answers and he wont let them push him around! Go Dad Go!! Just because people are older they are still somebody’s husband, father, grandpa, or son and it still hurts just the same!
Thanks again
