I normally dont post this type of stuff...

I need prayers, or at least good thoughts put towards my dad

He is 86, and has been having issues last month..One is they found an aggressive cancer in his bladder, but it isnt bladder cancer..Still waiting on MAYO Clinic to give opinions.

Now it appears his right kidney has shut down..It was fine Saturday, late Tuesday is when they noticed it may have stopped....So what ever it is, seems to be moving fast...

We are hoping the left one is going to keep going.

But with him being 86, the aggressive cancer very likely, we need all the help we can get.

Also, my sister's husband is in real bad shape. Cancer of lung, spine, and pelvis. Doesnt look good at all...

On top of that we lost a cousin last week to cancer..

So my family is having a real hard time now, just keep us in good thoughts

Thank you

My prayers are with your Dad and your family during this time!!! Stay strong!

MAYO Clinic now is stumped...They need more info..


They dont know what the tissue sample is the VA sent them

One good thing is that they were able to help his kidneys out by putting tubes into the kidneys..Which in turn helped his kidney functions...

Mayo clinic was still stumped so they got oncology involved (finally after begging for a few days) and they diagnosed him with bladder cancer that has spread to (and maybe past) the bladder wall.

Normally the bladder would come out and they would clean up anything they find..but his age and other health issues, that is not an option,

Chemo or radiation is next after a pet scan is done.

As far as my brother in law, they left cancer hospital in Houston to go back home in Missouri Monday...He is not doing good at all...Hospice is going to be waiting for him when they get home

So now the bladder cancer my dad has can not be operated on because of age mostly..

They can't do any radiation, or chemo right now, because of past radiation seeds still in place from 16 year old prostrate cancer.

Have to get info from the place that did the radiation seeds before they can move forward.

Even tho this cancer has spread at LEAST to the bladder wall which is not good at all, he has to wait for paper work...Crazy crap

This morning my brother in law passed away. He said last night he was ready to go.

My dad is having his pet scan this coming Monday to see if the cancer has spread and to where

Sorry to hear about your brother in law passing away. That is all you guys need with all this going on!!! I will continue to keep your Dad in my prayers!!! Hope everything works out!

pet scan results are in for my dad..

bladder cancer spread to spine and should bones.

6 month to live..His blood levels are to low for chemo, and he has radiation seeds in prostrate from 15 yrs ago..Cant give any more

He is okay with it, and taking it perfectly fine..His kids, well thats another matter

When time comes, we will see how he is.

About a month ago, sister in laws dad passed..I had not seen the man in about 10-15 years...Was at work and was in the middle of something and my thoughts went to him..
Out of the blue I heard

squirrels ask about squirrels

So i sent text to sil he reply was

My dad passed away wearing a squirrel t-shirt and he spent his final weeks feeding the squirrels

Dad is in Hospital...Hurt back Monday but today really hurt it. Meds are not helping. and I mean REAL MEDS..
