Here it is July 23rd dad's radiation treatments ended 10 days ago. I noticed a strong redness in the tissue just outside the area being radiated. This red area in the 10 days since the treatments have turned into more tumors. Dad's appetite has slowed down, he's constantly sleeping. His walking has become problematic, so much so that he asked for a wheel chair when we were leaving the hospital after his visit with the cancer doctor. The doctor suggested we look into hospice at this point, as he feels dad has perhaps 6-7 weeks before passing.

Sorry to hear of your cancer returning, along with that the hardship of watching others in your life suffer with it. Dad has short term memory loss, so he doesn't grasp for long the gravity of his situation. I guess that's a good thing, for him and those of us close to him. He knows, like yourself, that he's had a long and fruitful life, but like all things it ends eventually. I wish you well and thanks.
My dad passed away last Thursday August 4th, I held his hand as he breathed his last. He was a great man and father. Thanks for all the help and advice over the last several months.
