Re: Aww! Thanks, Stephie! - more about it       08/28/06 02:08 PM Edit Reply Quote AstroChick Reged: 12/30/03 Posts: 1023 Loc: Chicago, IL, USA Hi Casey-- Dang, that's tough. I know I was totally freaking out when my dad was diagnosed with tongue cancer (who knew that there was such a thing?) last year at age 68. My dad is also officially the World's Worst Patient, so first I got the "I don't want to be kept alive" speech, followed by a refusal to gesture or write what he wanted while he was on a respirator. I'm also one of the least nurturing people on the planet, so I would just worry and stare and not be all that helpful! All's well that ends well - he's totally fine now. But it is stressful as heck, so treat yourself really well while you're helping him. And yeah, there's some fantastic treatments out there - one of my best friends had ovarian cancer nearly 9 years ago and is going strong. I'll be thinking about you.... --AC Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
