Re: Update on Dad, for those who care to know       09/10/06 08:28 AM Edit Reply Quote Sand Reged: 12/13/04 Posts: 4490 Loc: West Orange, NJ (IBS-D) I know it's hard, Casey. I sometimes think that cancer patients' families have almost as hard a time as the patient - and they usually get less support. I'm not sure there is a good way to cope with this, so do the best you can. Things will settle down once the first shock and grief ease up a little. I'll be thinking of you and your dad and hoping the spots outside his stomach/esophagous are just that - spots. I know what you mean about not wanting to get your hopes up too much, but you wouldn't believe how many of my perfectly healthy organs have spots, dents, and dings on them. I have lots to say about oncologists - almost all of it good. If you want to talk about it, drop me an email. Here I'll just say that you always have the option of a second opinion and if you and your dad decide you want one, I'll be happy to pass along what I know about docs in New Jersey and Manhattan. I'm hoping chemotherapy goes as easily as possible for your dad. Take care. -------------------- [Research tells us fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate. - Sandra Boynton] Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
