About A Humble Request, On Mon Jan 01 2007

DS> room. He is home now, but hasn't had many "good days" since they
DS> discovered the cancer. 

Cancer can be fought, I know of many cases, but lets deal with who is known here:

Nora as a toddler was diagnosed with Acute Lymphatic Leukemia she is now
about 19 and going strong, treatment was some kind of ride for her.

Ryan my grandson diagnosed at 9mo with Acute Mylogenious Leukemia, if he
does not annoy me too much in September he will be 13, his ride was a doozy
as well.

Now for some one older, my grandmother, she died in 1993 at 83 she was
diagnosed with leukemia at 20 fought it and won, breast cancer at 40 same
deal fought it and won, but cancer finally got her, she had major upper
bowel cancer as well as major from her neck to her waist, internally.  But
she fought it every inch of the way.

My Dad, at 73 diagnosed with prostate, fought it and won, next was
colo-rectal fought it and won, next was lung and liver, fought it and won. 
So far he is still alive and as cranky as ever.

Try and be as positive as you can with your dad, and you never know he
MIGHT get a couple more years.  The commonalty with all these people is
their positive attitude, and having good positive people around them.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
