Very sorry to hear your news, Syndrome. I can only hope the very best for your father.

After seeing my father battle cancer for 4 years, it is not something I would wish upon my worst enemy.

Hope he beats it and know how you feeling.

My niece is only 7 and fell over picking up a toy and broke her femur.

Turns out she has a rare bone cancer called osteo sarcoma.

On the plus side she is amazingly resilient to Chemo, but she goes in tomorrow to operate on her leg to try and knit the bone and it will be the first time they lay eyes on the cancer itself.

9 hour operation, hoping for the best.

So many types of cancer I'm sure they will cure some eventually.

I wish your niece all the very best, zipping. One thing kids have on their side is that they are still growing. Older folk don't have that on their side, unfortunately.

Yesterday was one year since my father had the TURBT procedure. One tumour on the inside of the bladder and deemed not aggressive. Still here with us and so far no re-occurence. Not everybody is that lucky.

My late mum was a nurse all her life and died of Cancer in December 1999 at the age of 79 years old.
Five years before that I went to see her one afternoon and she told me she had "Cancer and she wasn't going to get any treatment because she was too old.

She never did get any treatment and my sister who at the time was a Nursing Sister in a major hospital in Sydney looked after her and she passed away in her sleep on a Sunday morning.

What I am trying to say is Cancer treatment is not for every body and I think what's the use of having a major operation and being sick because your on Chemo if its not going to work you've got to have some sort of quality of life.
