hey!  First off, cool it. My dad, a year 
ago, got diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer. But this year, on the exact day
he was diagnosed last year, the doctor
called and said that the cancer had
spread to his intestines and there's
NOTHING they can do. So I'm trying to
cope with school, coming home to a bad
situation, and just trying NOT to kill
something. But you can't let your dad
see you angry. He might take it the
wrong way or something. My dad was
my family's rock, but he can't even
barely get up off the couch sometimes
now. It's horrible. I'm coming home,
hoping that I don't have to call 911
AGAIN. I'm as bad off as you, but that
only means we UNDERSTAND what it's
doing to our dads. The doctor has only
given my dad 6 months to live. My
brothers are in the air force, but they
got emergency leave to come see him.
Everyone's acting like he's already
gone. It's not fair, I know. But we have
to cope with whatever God decides to
do. I hope you will get threw this better
than me. My email's limey3@ymail.com .
Good luck and may God bless you and
your dad.

limey i am in the same situation my dad has 
colon cancer and they said theres nothing else
they can do.. they suggested if my dad wanted
to they could continue chemo but they don't
think it would do much. My mom already did his
will and is now talking about the funeral services
and moving to a town house...MY DADS NOT
DEAD YET!! why are they starting this already i
tell them to take it day by day my dads still here
and we should enjoy it right? but when i come
home every day it feels like a funeral..i
remember my dad as a rock the man of the
house and iv seen him shrink and get weaker
each day now he's like a vegetable and its so
hard to watch him and focus in school..i also
hate how people say they hate there lives
because everyone hates them for being a slut
when in reality it doesn't matter... i would say a
plus side to cancer is i now truly appreciate life
and will never ever say i hate my life because
you don't know what you have till its gone..even
though i'm loosing my dad i'm still grateful i had
a wonderful father like him

i felt like i was the only one going through with
this but i feel so much better reading these
messages knowing i'm not alone.

please give me advice on how you guys cope
with these situation and any inspiration quotes
or music you have let me know please.


also watch a movie called "the secret" it has
helped me so much its about the law of
attraction it has made me a very positive person
you guys should check it out!!

Though cancer has its negative effects, in the long run it has been a blessing in regards to the way I live my daily life. I know that each day is a gift to be celebrated and I thank God for opening my eyes to all that is beautiful and good in this world.
