Glad he got to see his grandson. Sorry to hear this terrible news.My dad called me at work last night. He received his results from the blood work, biopsies, and PET scan. He has Stage 4 metastatic cancer in his jaw, throat, lymph nodes, both lungs, and chest cavity. They are going to start him on an aggressive course of chemotherapy and radiation on Monday...1-2 chemo treatments a week for a month and 60+ doses of radiation.
My wife and I drove up today to visit with him. Once he starts this treatment, his immune system will be basically non-existent, so he can’t have many visitors, especially during times of Covid.
Because of Covid, my father had yet to meet his newest grandson. I am proud to say that is no longer the case! JBC Jr. and JBCIV!

The mom of 12yo kid on my softball team said she wanted to talk to me. I had a feeling it wasn’t going to be good news...like she was leaving the team. Well, it was not good but not in the way I thought. The kid’s dad died 2 weeks ago. Acid reflux lead to esophageal cancer. That spread to his brain. 2nd to last chemo (?) treatment he had side effects, which he died from. There were tears and hugs and talk about how softball is her escape from her dad’s death. F*ck cancer.
That’s such a sad story @tequila4kapp !I just found out that a golfing of mine has become paralyzed because cancer tumor has surrounded his T8 vertebrae and deteriorated it so that he isn’t able to walk. They are hopeful that they can removed it and get him back walking in the future.
My dad received really good news today! His tumors have shrunk significantly... like over 75%! He has 2 more chemo treatments left. They will do another CT scan. The doctor wants to hold off on the radiation treatments and any surgery. He will have to continue to go to the hospital every 3-4 weeks to receive a treatment to maintain the cancer, but no more chemotherapy. He will likely never be completely cancer free.
Good news is good news especially in that fight. Continuing to pray for y'all!My dad received really good news today! His tumors have shrunk significantly... like over 75%!

I wasn't active on this forum when it happened but my dad had a long road of medical issues, but in June of 2020 he died of cancer. I was traveling back from Michigan seeing my wife's family when I found out and couldn't make it before he passed. He was developing dementia due to scar tissue in his brain from a brain tumor when I was young that was benign but caused everything from seizures to anything and everything you can imagine. He had a huge lump in his throat and it made it hard to swallow so they removed it but when they did it caused an aggressive spread and with his weakened immune system and other medical issues he just couldn't fight it.
That is some good news. I hope he continues to improve.My dad received really good news today! His tumors have shrunk significantly... like over 75%! He has 2 more chemo treatments left.

Other than prayers for those fighting it, this is one thread I didn't expect to be posting in.
I won't go through all of the details, but after coming home from our Florida vacation, my wife complained of a pain in her right ribcage and in her back. Of course she attributed it to laying on the beach and an overly soft bed, none the less, she went to her personal friend who is an MD and his first thought was gallbladder....tested it and did an ultra sound, nope not the gallbladder. Finally did a CT scan and it revealed some lesions on her liver....had a biopsy yesterday and confirmed than she has pancreatic cancer that mastestises to her liver. To say that we are in total shock is an understatement!
