Title: Bad News Today
Post by: Charley Davidson on February 11, 2011, 05:14:35 PM
My mom called me tonight so that through up a red flag immediately, after the usual how you doing exchanges she told me my dad has breast cancer & has to go next week for biopsies & surgery.

Some of you met him at Kyles "Non" Rally a few years back, he really enjoyed that and I'm glad I took the time to spend with him in the bus there.

I'm very worried and upset.

Really sorry to hear that. Be thankful for the times you spent with him, and make the most of the time you still have.

Charlie,

My first cancer was a big chunk of my chest and two surgeries got it all, finally.

I, and I am sure all of us here, wish you well.  God bless.

John

  If you can get him to M.D ANDERSON hospital in Houston, TX or I.U. Hospital here in Indianapolis, Indiana. They are the best

  for cancer treatment in the country! My prayers are with you and your dad.

Charley -

Bless you, your Dad your Mom. Terrible news, awful shock... we're never ready for stuff like this!

But the guys are right, there's plenty of hope... so hope for the best. And tell him you love him. I know what you're thinking, but tell him anyway (guys are so bad about that).

Nellie

I'm a cancer survivor.  One of the hardest things for cancer patients to deal with is people who hear "cancer" and think "dead".  Cancer is a disease and it is treatable.  Its a very evil disease and the treatment can be equally horrible but it is not a death sentence.  Good luck with your father but please watch your attitude because he will have more than enough people in his life who think he is already dead.

Im sorry to hear about your dad. Cancer is evil! My mom has been battling it for a couple of years. Get the surgeries and pray they get all of it. Dont let him waste anytime in getting the surgeries done either. The real danger is if it spreads before it is cut out. Im sorry for your family

My daughter is a 5 year survivor of breast cancer  My sugestion of where to go since he lives in NC is Duke.
The place is amazing and some of the best in the country. Just stay away from small local hospitals especially around Lenoir.
