where does it end?

[bcky2]

i dont know if anyone remembers me posting about a year ago my dad had prostate cancer. he had surgery and radiation treatment and seemed to be doing pretty good. right after radiation was done he started having alot of problems with his bladder. he has had problems with it for long enough now and not responding to any sort of infection treatments that they want to check for cancer of the bladder. when he had his surgery they didnt get all the cancer out like they had hoped but said that the radiation would take care of the rest. well now they say that maybe it spread faster then they thought. i just feel so bad for him. i cant imagine having gone thru treatment for one cancer just to have to battle it all again a year later. i know many people do and it is just so sad. i just want it to go away :(

I'm very sorry Becky. I don't have any great words of wisdom but I know how frustrating it is to wonder what is going to happen next and to deal with the sadness of cancer. {{{Big Hugs}}}

I remember Becky. I am so sorry that your family is going through this. It is especially hard when he has already "fought" one battle, just to turn around and fight it again. Does he have a good support system set-up? Do you have a good support system set up?
You will all be in my thoughts and prayers for the best possible outcome.

I'm sorry you, your Dad and your family are dealing with this once again. I know how difficult it is.

My Dad had surgery for colon cancer just after my wedding over 4 years ago. It reoccured a few months ago. He's just had chemo/rad, then major major surgery and will do another round of chemo during the holidays.

I read "Help me Live, 20 things people with cancer want you to know" by Lori Hope. She's a survivor. It helped a little although nothing can get rid of the dread I feel.

I wish I had something else to say to make us both feel better.

Becky, I am so very sorry. Know that he can get through this as well as the last. Not to drag my family medical issues into your thread - my mother has has leukemia for the last 13 years or so, and a battle with lung cancer just a couple of year ago. She is currently undergoing chemo for her leukemia and it is really anyone's guess as to her long term prognosis. She is however inspiring in her ongoing zeal for life and is still remarkably active all things considered. She quotes one of those somewhat hokey inspiration books a lot- she is not dying of cancer, she is living wih cancer. A positive approach can really help make the physical demands of treatment better in some ways. Anyways, I know this totally and competely is not fair and royally sucks. Best wishes to your dad and your entire family.

[Emmas Mom]

So sorry to hear that. Sending you lots of hugs this holiday season & hoping for his complete recovery.

[bcky2]

thank you for all the well wishes. it is just hard as we went thru this last christmas and now here again we are dealing with it again :( he is "lucky" in the fact that the places he has had cancer are the "better" places to have it. it is just that fear of it spreading and spreading and not stopping. thanks again ladies, and i always like hearing the success stories where it doesnt come back, i hope i will have one of thoes of my own soon :)

Hugs, Becky. I am so very sorry to hear that your Dad has to have through another cancer treatment right when you all thought he was done.
