I am so sorry to hear about your father's cancer. We are all here for you for support. You have been a good son helping both of your parents in their time of need.
You are in my thoughts and I am hoping for the best on Monday. Good luck to you and your family.
Thanks for the replies, my wife and son had him at urgent care most of today, he has a bladder infection and is dehyrated, they put him on an IV and antibiotics also a pain shot, he's at home asleep, they didn't want to say anything about the breathing other than the doctor will talk to us on monday.
I hate being stuck at work with all this going on.
Location: Moved to town. Miss 'my' woods and critters.

Roaddog, please accept my prayers for you as you go through this very trying time. As others have told you, we are here always to offer support and shoulders at any and all times. I know that you feel so darn helpless and fear what you may hear Monday. All that you can do right now is what you hve been doing. Giving the support to others around you. And let your Dad know how much you love and respect him.
Be sure to share with him your feelings now. And try your best to be with someone who will understand and support you. It takes a special person to be able to express their deep emotions with others. Please, again, know that so very many of us are now wrapping our prayers and love around you. Take care and Happy Thoughts for you.
These are very difficult things to go through. Unfortunately, we have no choice. I'm sorry you have to endure it at this time. All I can do is pray that you have strength and courage and that this, too, shall pass.
Hello and I wish the best for you and your family.
Some of the words we use for this disease like, fight or battle or win have the opposite word for them when things are not going our way. This I think causes stress and anxiety. We use words like loss and losing. But this is just the course of this disease. Not an indication of your dad's will to live.
Now the fork in the road for you is to begin the process of opening doors on communication. Talk to one another and talk some more. Talk to the doctor about pain management. This can so improve the quality of life. Take time for you and your immediate family to have a little fun. Then you can be refreshed. God bless you and keep you and yours in this time.
My prayers are with you Roaddog and your dad, mom and the rest of the family..Feel free to "unload" on us any time.. Times may be rough the next several months.There is usually one person in every family who everyone looks to for strength and support and that seems to be you..In that case..let us be your strength and comfort when you need to "unload"
