I am sooo sorry to hear of this Carmen. I hadn't read all the thread to the end before I put something positive and encouraging for you, but have edited it here.

Such a sad thing to lose someone so dear to us. All best wishes to you.
 
Thanks guys. I am just so grateful for the time we had these past few months. Its an amazing thing to be with someone at the very end. I feel privileged to have been there holding his hand.
Its not everyone gets the chance to say a proper goodbye.
 
Very sorry to hear that! Its nice to know you were there for him, I'm sure he is very proud.
 
I am sorry to hear that Rox. At least you were there with him.
 
Sorry to hear about your father but I'm glad you got to spend some time with him in the end.

My father died of lung cancer when I was 18 after a small battle but back then I didn't really get to spend much time with him and hadn't been close to him for about 4 years prior to him dying. Mum had breast cancer 3 years ago and has just been given the all clear at her last check-up.
 
My nan just died on Monday from a mix of Bowel and Lung Cancer. Sorry to hear of your loss, Cancer is just far too common now a days. in Australia your chances of surviving certain cancers decreases by 50% the day you turn 16..
 
Some people beat cancer through a lifestyle change. Most cancers are killed by our bodies before we realise we have them, but if our systems are weakened by poor health, caused by poor diet etc, we become less able to stop them. My brother is a naturopath and has stories about people being cured of cancer through the use of fresh vegetable juices (made yourself and consumed immediately, not the bottled stuff - the enzymes don't last that long). It sounds like a load of hippy crap, but a happy, positive frame of mind makes a big difference (I'm not just being some spiritual tarot card-reading freak here, it has measurable physiological affects to your body's chemistry, which alters the way it performs and functions).

In addition to this try to find a copy of the movie called "What the bleep do we know" by Hopscotch Entertainment.
It a great message for people who would like or need a change of perspective, and explains just how important positive thoughts are for physiological change.
 
I can believe that. I had a cancer scare earlier this year and they definitely found something on the CT scans. I had some time in between the initial finding and when I went into hospital for the op and I made drastic changes to my diet during this time. At my post-op appointment my specialist actually told me that he believed he would find something but was amazed to find nothing and he couldn't explain it.

During this time, my entire attitude to life changed and I started taking better care of myself so I do believe a positive frame of mind can work wonders.

Sorry to hear about your Nan. May she R.I.P.
 
@ cement, dad did all the righ thtings when it comes to diet etc. He saw a naturopath/herbalist and he was going great guns for a while. Unfortunately, liver cancer hasnt got any symptoms until its very far advanced, so it was kind of too late.
Interestingly, he had a long distance spiritual healing from a man in Brazil called John of God (google him!) and while it didnt 'cure' dad, I believe it did do a lot to 'heal' him, and he had a month at the end where he felt incredibly positive and stopped feeling like he was dying. He was telling people he felt like he was going to live. Which made an incedible difference to the quality of life he had there at the end.
Its true cancer is far too common now. Unfortunately there are so many different theories and anti-cancer diets etc, its hard to know if any is the the best or right one (like religion i guess!!). but the best you can do is be healthy and fit.
My heart truly goes out to all who have lost someone to such a devastating illness.
