I just found out last week my dad has cancer. I am a only child and my dads only family here. He is not a us resident and needs chemotherapy for his cancer. Does anyone know of anyplaces in Florida where I can get some type of help for him? I am a single mother with a full time job and cannot take off too much time from work so any advice will be very appriciated.

Someone told me they have leukemia and that dialysis was part of their treatment. My dad had leukemia and I don’t remember him ever dialysis. Doctors please reply.
I think this person is trying to get sympathy from an otherwise unsympathetic audience. I think they are lying. Just makes me dislike them even more.

my dad has is fighting cancer and has been on chemotherapy but has stop because he has been really nausea and has lost a lot of weight and does not eat much what can i feed him ?

so my dad has pancrease cancer and has been getting chemotherapy for a long time now and he heard from a friend that there was a doctor who helped cure peoples cancer by giving them two pills for a certain period of time. So i told him that’s ridiculous and that if such a thing exist then the death rate for pancreas cancer wouldn’t be so high. He Threw a gigantic fit and whent off somewhere. So i did some research and i found this article on CNN but i have some serious doubts

if there’s one thing i learned in America, its to be skeptical about these kinds of things
also the cancer spread to his lungs now and in different parts of his body

My dad suffers with this and I want to let him know what would be better

I was just wondering because my dad said it ran in the family and I don’t really want to get it.

Do you think it really can treat cancer? I heard that doctors can’t even detect cancer unless it multiplies to billions of cells.
Chemotherapy is just a poison in my opinion. They use people as guinea pigs: If its successful then awesome! If you die, too bad so sad on to the next patient-lets suck some money out!
What is your opinion on it, and whY??
My father died from lung cancer in 2001, and since then I have been trying to understand it. No, I have not personally had cancer, but it was close enough to watch him die at home because he went from 200lbs down to 80lbs and looked like an 10yr old kid in a matter of 8 months. If your body or immune system cannot handle it, you die sooner than you would from the cancer.
And of course doctors show concern for your health and welfare–they’re making $$$$ off of you so they have to do that. Just one shot used to cost 00 !
I’m sorry if I offended anybody who has/had cancer, that was not my intention. Maybe I’m just being very naive about the whole thing, but I’m 23 years old, and I had to lose my dad (he was 43) just 10 days after I turned 17 and I still happen to be very hurt and pissed off about it. I basically let it go for a long time and just accepted it as it was, but I recently asked my mom to dig up all the info from the doctors & hospital from back then because I never got to read any of it. Maybe I didn’t want to..or they didn’t let me? But honestly I don’t think I would choose chemo if I found out I had cancer. Watching what my dad went through and all the side effects was just not worth it, only for him to think he would get better because the doctors encouraged him, and yet he died after just 7months of the treatments.

My boyfriend just told me his dad may have prostate cancer.
Is there any chance he could have it too?

I want to know… my dad is about to go through this…..

My dad will probably die, he’s totally not taking care of himself and refuses to change. I think he hasn’t quite fully grasped how sick he is. Anyone know of any books that might be educational/inspirational, etc. for someone with cancer? Thanks
