New Here - Losing Dad
| Wed, 10-25-2006 - 1:53pm |
My dad has been battling with melanoma for five years and nothing has worked. The cancer has spread to his lungs, brain, and stomach. The different medications have slowed the growth of the tumors down but the doctors have basically run out of treatment options. They are doing chemo now (which is known not to work on melanoma) in hope that it will buy time. My dad is only 54 years old and even younger at heart. He is living with me and my family while going through treatment and it is so hard to see him in pain all the time and sick all the time. I am now on medication to treat depression because it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to cope with my day to day stress (raising a family, working full time) and come to terms with losing my dad at such a young age.
