My dad had gallbladder cancer from radiation and asbestos exposure for over 30 years. He was diagnosed last July. The tumors responded to the chemo and were about 1/4 of the size they had been. But the chemo took it's toll. Dad became so weak and dehydrated that he couldn't get around or help in his care at all. He died last Friday night and is now home with the Father, my Lord.
I want to thank all of you for your prayers and positive thoughts that have been with us for the last 8 months. For a 78 year old man - I think my dad did good.
My last thoughts are - if have any kind of cancer, heart disease or any other type of life changing illness - fight it for yourself - not your family, wife, children, or anyone else. It may not be a cure - but you need to continue making lovely memories for yourself and for those who will be left behind. May God grant you peace and comfort.
