My daughter needs all the support she can get. We found out today that her brain cancer is spreading, and almost untreatable. She was diagnosed 6 years ago with a terminal cancer that takes 7 years to do what it does. My life was turned upside down today, and i dont know what to do. I have to be the rock in the situation. Even as i type this, and hide my weakness from my wife so she doesnt break down.


She is only 23 years old. I don't know what to do. We have fought and prayed for 6 years, and nothing is working.

Ron,
HOw sad that you have gotten this news, how lucky she has been to have had 6+ years to live and say good bye. Many never get the chance to do so. God has plans, especially for one so young!! Sometimes it is hard to figure out why, maybe never, but live life to the fullest while you can.
Bless you and your family.
 
So sorry to hear about the cancer. Certainly, your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

The most frustrating part of this must be that there is nothing that you can do for the cancer. What you can do is continue to love and support your wife and daughter. I believe that losing a loved one leaves a hoie in you that can never truly be filled, but that part of you would never have developed or existed if you had never had that person in your life.

Let me know if I can help.
 
Thanks David, and everyone else as well. I know we will get through this, but it is just so dam hard.


On another note, I will be sending the boxes i owe out on wednesday, but after that, I will not be on this forum except to deal with selling my stuff off. I truely appreciate all of the friendships i have built here, and I have enjoyed ruffling feathers. Nobody should be too comfortable on their roost, even if it is at the top of the coop.

After i get re-established in the flooring industry, I will be back, but for now i have much more important things to do.

Again, thanks everyone! and see you around....... one of these days!

Ron
 
Best wishes to you and your family. Don't stop looking for answers, consult a second opinion so you are sure of the course of action. Look for Hospice care early on in this journey as it will be a good source of support for all of you and provide good care for your daughter. Don't be too strong as it won't serve you or your loved ones very well.
 
Do not look forward to what may happen
tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares
for you today will take care of you tomorrow and
every day. Either He will shield you from suffering,
or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Be at peace, then. Put aside all anxious thoughts and
imaginations, and say continually: "The Lord is my
strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in Him
and I am helped. He is not only with me but in me,
and I in Him."
 
Your family is in our prayers. My daughter was only 15 when we lost her to cancer. Try to do your best as you are doing and things will work out. Take care.
 
Never knowing what to say at times like these. I know this that when times are hard, things seem like they will never get better. But they will. Some pains last for but a day... Others for a week... others last for what seems to be an eternity. But my friend my dear friend, things will get better. Often the clouds of doubt cover any chance of light shining upon our lives. But those same rays of hope shall break through and lighten the darkest night, and brighten the brightest of days. The light that lives above us all sees everything and knows how to heal our pains. Trust upon his might and you shall see things through.
 
Wow, Ron I am soo sorry to hear about your daughter. Cancer is such a hard thing to go through especially when there is nothing that can be done other than try to enjoy the time you have. Your family are in my family's thoughts & prayers. Hang in there, my friend. Please let me know if you need anything, I will do what I can.
 
Ron, my heart aches for you, may God comfort you and uplift you, and give you the strength to make it through the valley of the shadow of death. most certainly I will pray that God put his healing hand upon your daughter, Amos
 
Thank you everyone for your strength!


Her name is Shana Marie. (pronounced Shay-nuh)

Her medical team meets tomorrow to decide the next step, but we pretty much already know what the next step is going to be. She will be going back on the chemo that she was originally on (temodar (sp??)). It isn't definate, but there really aren't many other options. Of course if i was loaded, then she could go to somewhere decent and get tomo therapy or something, but that discussion is for a whole different forum.


I must apologize to the site. Dealing with all of this has been at the front of my mind for some time now, and i think it has affected my ability to communicate with the people that are my friends. I am truely sorry for being an ass.
 
Hey Ron your daughter and your family are in my prayers so keep up the fight and never quit.

Thanks Ron. I just like to know names when I share prayer requests with others. Just remember that you are doing what you can for her and you're doing your best. Everyone responds to treatments differently, so don't go second guessing things or thinking that there's something else that could help more. Rich or poor, black or white, fat or skinny, you're doing everything you can for her and that's all she needs right now.
Oh, and You're no more of an @$$ than the rest of us!
 
Ron, I am sorry to hear about this news. I am sue that no parents ever want to hear this kind of news. the best thing you can do is to enjoy every sec. of her being here, and also remember as they said in the previous posts everyone responds differently, so don't go shutting that door on you or your family. It's easier said that done that we tell you be strong which is hard,but remember your job would be that to make it as comfortable as you can and not make it any harder. don't worry about wealth or how much you got since even the richest got their pain in a different fold.
You and your family are in my prayers.I ask our God to give you strength to pull through this ordeal and help you to understand and cope with what ever his wishes are in this case.
God bless you and your family.
BTW, breaking away form this site may not be to your advantage since you may go bottling up your thoughts and they may come out in a way that you may not appreciate it later. Stay around and share your thoughts the least we can do is to help you to get through this hard time. Being alone by yourself and your thought may not be the best option.
 
Ron, I was going to bitch about having to spend last night in the hospital! But Man I am so sorry to hear about your daughter, and with all the other crap that's happened in your life in the last few months, Dude you need to catch a break some where, I will pray for your girl and cast some good vibes your way, I wish you the very best of luck, but please don't become a stranger around here.
Peace / Out
