The previous messages are great. I also understand about the sudden death of the person who lost someone in a car accident. That happened to me with a cancer patient. A 17 year old vibrant girl, 2 treatments, looking good and 2 weeks later I am told she died. I felt like had died in a car accident, it was so sudden, it took me a long time to recover. We are all different. Do what you Dad wants and make sure he is not doing it for you. This way you can have meanigful time with him. God Bless

I'm new to this blog so this is my first message. My dad was diagnosed with stage iv pancreatic cancer a month ago. It's after 1am and I can't sleep. This is a nightmare that u don't wake up from. I have a pit in my stomach from a broken heart. What scares me is the nightmare hasn't even begun yet. This week my dad goes for his second chemo treatment. He's at such a hopeless stage of the disease that I question if chemo is the right choice. I will do anything to keep my dad here with us but i don't want him to suffer more for no benefit in the end. This is an issue I and my family have been struggling with most. I just want what's best for my dad and I can't bear the thought of seeing him slowly die before our eyes or in pain . If anyone has any advice or similar experience it would be greatly appreciated.
