dealing with cancer? (Answers: 5) (Comments: 1)

My Papa found out about a month ago that he has cancer somewhere around his kidney, as well as skin cancer that he has had for years. He is very weak and also has emphyzema, so his cancer is untreatable. The only thing they are giving him is pain meds. The doctor initially told us he had 6 months to a year left. However, yesterday he started hallucinating, speaking in the past tense, and using a different voice. He was also shaking very badly (his whole body.) One nurse told us he has a few days left, and another nurse with hospice told us a couple of weeks to a month. My question is, have any of you dealt with this? And if you have and your loved one experienced this, how long did they have left?

Dealing with Cancer? (Answers: 4) (Comments: 0)

My dad was diagnosed with lymphoma a year ago - well, the doctors aren't exactly sure it is or not. But, ever since this happened he has been a little depressed and angry. He'll say things like, "well, why even bother, I'll be gone soon anyways." The family has been really supportive and positive, but he has always seen the glass as half empty. The comments he says, and the way he acts has been really hard. I know he must be really scared and angry with what has happened, but it's hard on all of us. How do I help him realize that life is still good? He's still breathing and the sun is out, he can still walk. To take each day at a time and enjoy all the wonderful things in his life. Instead of living life, I feel like he's just waiting for it to end. I could be gone tomorrow - no one knows when their time might be. I just don't know how to make him see. Has anyone else gone through this? Thanks. Thanks! It's so amazing that random individuals who don't even know who I am can provide such good advice and support. I really appreciate it. :) Thank you! I think I will share with him my own feelings and concerns. I don't know how hard this must be for him. I can imagine, but can't say I know. He's actually been a bit happier (we're leaving for Hong Kong tomorrow for a short trip) and I think he's excited for change and something different. :) Thanks again for all your answers!! They are all great!
