cancer - dad just been diagnosed - some advice to help support please

I have read this potential cure for cancer in the net. The story behind this is very interesting. A Biochemist Dr. Budwig found the cure for cancer 30 years ago. The cure however was blacklisted by the FDA. You can read more about this and the recipie that will shrink cancer tumors on the net. It just involves cottage cheese and flaxseed oil. Just search for Dr. Budwig's Diet. Many patients who are sent home to die were cured with this recipie. Hope this can help your father too.

I think that you should go and spend some time with your father cause he is really sick and no matter what he says he will be happy inside knowing that you are there for him and knowing that you care.

I went through this too. My dad was diagnosed with terminal testicular cancer when I was twelve years old. He did the chemo and radiation and after almost a year the doctors gave up on him and told him to go home and die. He was a miracle and lived. It was a very difficult time though. My dad lived about an hour away as well but eventually moved closer to me. So many things will go through you mind and you won't know what to do. It's a confusing time. Just be there for him but don't push him too hard. He's under a lot of stress too. What helped my dad was changing his diet and attitude. We set goals for him to survive by. And he did a juice diet to cleanse his body. I highly recommend "Monavie" it's a juice with the highest level of antioxidants known to man. If you have questions about it or want to order some let me know. It will make him feel better, especially during the chemo and radiation treatment periods, those are terrible. Good luck and let me know if you need anything!

each person is different,i lost a kidney to cancer 4 years ago and didn't want to have people hanging over me changing things they didn't do before just because i had the big c. hey he's your dad and no matter what he'd be happy to see you.it is a big jolt to be told you have the disease the way most doctors tell you like it was nothing but they in their specialty see it on a daily basis and it's just another day to them.when i was told my main concern was o/k i have it now let's get it done and take care of the problem.cancer effects everyone in a different way as to how they feel when told it's a personnel thing i guess it was like i told my kids who are in their 30's and have children take care of yourself and your family when i need you i'll let ya know.i'm sure he knows you love him and he'll let you know when he needs something but stop in just to say hi and don't dwell on the problem when your there just ask him to keep you informed on the progress.they've come so far cancer wise lately i'm sure he'll be fine.keep your cool i have 3 friends i met on line that just beat the big c because of new finding's they make each day.stop by give him a kiss and say hey pops what up can i do to help,he knows your there and will be there when you need him,god bless him and your family.

Hi Ellie, I see you have received some very practical and useful answers already but just wanted to say that my dad had prostrate cancer a year or so ago and went through radiation treatment and has been cured. He still has lots of pain and can't sleep through the night but the best thing you need when going through it is the support of your loved ones. My dad has my mum there with him all the time and my brother and I both live fairly close so we could see him every day - you say your dad is alone - do make the time to go to him - he might say he doesn't need you but men like to put a brave face on generally - I imagine deep down he's quite scared. Radiation really takes it out of you and chemo even more so - he will need help definitely whether he admits it or not. My thoughts are with you - be strong for him, although I know it will be hard for you too to see your dear dad in so much pain. xx

hello elli i have some advice i am a surviovor of cancer lost most of my hamstring to cancer i went thru rad theraphy also my was mulignate if thats spelled right well i would check on him even if its just to say hello have a dinner outing instead of him thinkin your checkin in on him lets chat

Hi ellie Im sorry to hear about your dad. If it were me I would definetly go and see him. It sounds like he is just trying to be brave. So go and see him! My girlfriends mom is going through the big C too and I see what she is going through. I try to be there for my girlfriend. I wish the best. I will say some prayers for your dad. Be strong!

My mom has recently been diagnosed with liver cancer and it is in the advance stage already. This is her second bout with cancer, the first in 1999 she was able to survive but the treatment and surgery left her so weak for a year. Parents nowdays tend to put on a strong face and say that everything is ok when they're not. I've had to quit from my job in order to take care of my mother. Now for your question if you have to visit him, I would say yes go ahead. But when you do visit him, try to put on a brave face and if possible act as if he doesn't have cancer. This is what I am doing right now. I cry when I am alone in my room in the early morning hours so that she doesn't see. We talk about happy and funny moments that we've had from my childhood years. I know that your visit will be ok. Don't be shocked if you see that he looks weak or sick from the chemo. Just let him see and feel that you are there as his daughter and that you love him. Good luck. I pray that your father survives this trial also.

Hi ellie, Sorry to hear about your father. Be with your father if at all possible. He needs you even if he says he doesn't. There is a great cancer support website called OncTalk. Dr. West is an oncologist that actually answers your questions! He is wonderful as well as everyone else in the support group. I just lost my husband 3 weeks ago today from Stage IV Lung Cancer. My heart goes out to you. I hope your father does well. cdejac

Hi Ellie, so sorry to hear about your dad but I want you know that I will be here to support you while you try to support him at this difficult time. Try not to get too upset as it may start to affect you own health and you need to stay strong for him. Much love xxx

I was going through the exact same thing. I just heard the C word about 2 weeks ago with my father and he passed away just yesterday. I live 12 hours away and I could've gone home so many times at least to visit for a while. If you have time, whether he needs anything or not, yes go spend time with him. You're right guys always keep to themselves. I don't know, and now I'll never be able to ask him, if or how long he knew about that nasty C word. Spend as much time as you can with your father as you can. Even if you just sit and watch television together. I was planning a trip to go home when I heard my father went to the hospital, but he passed before I got there. I'll have to live with that for the rest of my life and I hope and pray everyday that he forgives me for not being there. My only advice is spend time with him. I wish you and your family all the best and I'm sending my prayers.
