So we went through with it we couldn't just let him bleed to death.  He survived the opp. Tomorrow will be a week since he was hospitiliesed. His recovery is slow but he is making progress.  The problem is that his to week for any chemo. He opened his eyes yesterday afternoon, but his very confused and gets angry because he has a breathing machine that helps his breath, and he wants to talk. They say that the cancer he has is in his stomach and lungs as well. His currently in ICU. I feel so helpless. He doesnt stay with us cause my mom and my dad got divorsed when i was five years old, i'm now 24. Even though we didn't see much of each other i realy love him very much and it breaks my heart to see him so helpless, so weak. He was a big strong man, who had a good heart and it's so difficult to see him lying in that bed. When he started to get sick the docters said that is was the alser, they didn't even ckeck to see if theres any canser, and 6 months later... His in hospital!!!!I sometimes wish i had enough money to take him out of south africa and to a doctor overseas, but i'll never have enough.  I just dont know what to do, what els i can do to maby help cure the cancer make it stop. I dont want to loose my dad! My heart is breaking into a thousand pieces. I dont even have a car to go and see him, his in alberton and im in vereeniging. I have to work, but if i could id stay there the whole day!! Every one has a different story bout whats wrong with him, i dont know who to believe anymore.  And i cnt do anything.
