I find that writing about it ...Thank you everyone. I find that writing about it and talking with friends has helped me very much. It is such a relief that Dad has asked for help with his depression. I'm determined to think positively and not worry since there is nothing I can do about the situation. I put his name on our church prayer chain and that feels good knowing the whole church is praying for him. <BR/>Thank you everyone for your positive thoughts and prayers.ReneeWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184560393907186300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1139081010251713012006-02-04T11:23:00.000-08:002006-02-04T11:23:00.000-08:00Awww Renee, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I...Awww Renee, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I wondered when we hadn't heard from you for a while if that was it. Ron has it in his lymph nodes too which is why they won't operate. But he is going the chemo and radiation route so I guess you just have to wait to hear what the doctor says. And taking it one day at a time is the only way to do it. Otherwise you go simply mad.<BR/>And good for your Dad for getting something for depression. I wish Ron would but I think he's very angry with his doctor for not finding it sooner and doesn't want to see him.<BR/>And I find blogging very cathatic. So blog about whatever your heart tell you too!!! Doing mine and reading others is such a release.<BR/>You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep in touch.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1139059163141731172006-02-04T05:19:00.000-08:002006-02-04T05:19:00.000-08:00Renée, [[hugs]]!

Also, I don't know what kind of cancers they deal with. I just wanted you to know that if the doctors decide they can't do anything that looking into alternative medicine might be the next step. Oygen Therapy has been used in Europe for years to treat cancer with great success rates but it hasn't been approved by the FDA. I think there is only one place in Canada that does it and it is in Vancouver.<BR/><BR/>I hope that the lymph nodes are clear and that they can get on with the operation!<BR/><BR/>I am so glad that he is asking about some meds. It is a huge step for him and I know you must be proud of him.<BR/><BR/>Take care of yourself!<BR/><BR/>cindySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1139041072642998822006-02-04T00:17:00.000-08:002006-02-04T00:17:00.000-08:00Oh honey I am so sorry. The waiting is one of the...Oh honey I am so sorry. The waiting is one of the worst things regarding anything. But our parents... it is just hard for us to understand. <BR/><BR/>period<BR/><BR/>no matter how much you prepare yourself or tell yourself you are. So feel free to run on at length. It is such a great thing he is going to talk to the dr about the depression! No matter what right now his body and mind do not need anything else to focus on and depression is a real illness. Good for him!<BR/><BR/>many hugs to you!sybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342302708116383329noreply@blogger.com
