On November 14, 2002, the doctors told me that they can't do anything else for him. They don't expect him to live a month. But, they don't know God like we do and I know that God has the last say, not man. I am terrified at the thought of losing my father to this disease. I feel like punching the wall or screaming or something!!!!! What will we do without him???? How do we go on with our lives without him???? I ask these questions because I honestly don't know how I will continue working full-time, going to college full-time, being a mother to my 14 year old son, and enjoying a wonderful relationship with my fiancé'. I just don't know. It doesn't seem fair to just get on with my life. For those of you battling cancer, please never give up. Keep on fighting for all of those that have lost and will lose the battle to this terrible disease. You are all in my prayers every single day and I admire your courage and determination to learn and live every day. Please pray for Pastor Henry B. and the rest of my family. Sadly, Vinnie B.

Sun, 01 Dec 2002 00:00:00 GMT I am writing this message to you because I know all of the things you are feeling. The man I love and was living with died on December 2nd. It was the most devastating thing that has ever happened to me. If your dad has made it this far I beg you don't give up. God has the last say but be very careful. Sometimes the things we are told are too easy to accept because they justify our fears. Medication taken when really needed for pain can be wonderful but when it is given routinely or for other reasons it can be deadly especially in someone with lung cancer. All medications work on the breathing process. When many medications are mixed looking for something to help such as anxiety in my mans case you have no idea if they are the main problem or the desease is. You have the right to ask these questions. Do it don't take what any one says for granted. Get all of the information you can now before it is too late and ask questions!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lillian D. Thu, 12 Dec 2002 00:00:00 GMT So the doctors have given up? Surely, you do not believe everything you hear from them! And who appointed them GODs? You must not for one second throw in the towel. Get on the web and search! If you cannot, have a friend do it. There are so many protocols you can find and try. Search: Robert Barefoot - Dr. Ralph Moss - Dr. Donald Kelly - check laetrile, apricot kernels, AND if it takes killing a chicken, rattling the bones, and reading the wind signs in your backyard -- DO NOT GIVE UP! My prayers are with you. Constance Carolyn D. Sat, 14 Dec 2002 00:00:00 GMT Carolyn, Thanks for your energy. I am one who does research. I am thankful to say that December 14 was that one month window that the doctors gave us. My father is hanging on so far. He is getting worse daily, but prayer changes things. I know that the doctors are not the ones in control, God is. He is the only one that can make things better. Thanks for the support. Vinnie Daddy's Girl Mon, 16 Dec 2002 00:00:00 GMT
