Topic: Dad's down - Stage IV Lymphoma - could use a hand (Read 14553 times)

FNGw/08SERK · « **on:** September 03, 2008, 08:23:46 PM »

Hello everyone. I can't write to all of you as friends because I've not been fortunate to meet everyone who will read this. I need to ask a favor though. The CVO Community is special enough that i know you'll at least consider the request. Thanks beforehand for taking the time to do so.

My father is very ill with Stage IV Cancer. He's fought a battle of this sort previously, but not to this magnitude. Not long ago we were afraid he'd not come through it this time. We still don't know he will. But he's fighting hard again.

We've had to move him from his home here in Syracuse to Houston for life saving treatment. The treatments have been long and difficult and expensive. Our family has helped where we can. But now the expenses are almost as frightening to him as is the disease.

No one is asking for help with large medical expenses. That's too much. Do not give until it hurts. But, if you can, enough to help just a little would be a Godsend.

The cost of a dinner out or what you'd spend taking the family to a movie. Something like that. It would mean more to my dad than you can know right now.

Howie and Raquel, the brief mentions that had come of your dad had I'm sure left many of us wondering how he was doing. So glad to read he's gotten as far as he has but still startled by the frightening road yet ahead of him.

Can't even begin to imagine what it might be like for him and for all the family supporting him. You guys deserve credit too. Though of course the focus has to be on him right now.

A little help is no doubt far more difficult to ask for than it is to give. Congrats to both of you for stepping up to ask in a way that couldn't have been easy. Tell your dad a group of crazy Harley riders are saying hi and keeping him in their thoughts. Will send the Old Man a little meal money after bit. Not a biggie.

Just finished reading and in some cases re-reading the links at your dad's little informational site. Quite a road he's taken.

Once again just no words to share sympathy for what all of you are going through. Thanks again for the opportunity to feel selfishly good about doing just a little to help someone that really needs it.

Thanks to everyone. Received a phone call from my Mother (from Houston). She was perplexed as to who all the folks were that were helping her out. My brother who runs the website told her of the recent traffic on Dad's donation page. Gave a brief explanation and I have to share with you guys that she was audibly shaking with disbelief. I haven't the words to tell you how much your help means to my parents. All I can say is Thank You Very Very Much!!! From the heart.

Thanks for the pic Howie. How did MD Anderson weather the weather in Houston?

MD Anderson did very well with the hurricane. They are well prepared as you might imagine. Structurally, they use things like flood gates for protection. Of course once they are lowered I am told no one in or out until the party's over. Backup generators worked well. Skeleton crew did a great job of seamless care from what I'm told.

As a side note the remnants of Ike knocked out power here. Just over 41,000 still without power in this county.

Howie,
My condolences on the loss of your Dad. He's at peace now and no longer suffering the pain and awful treatments associated with the big "C". He's in a better place.....but his memories will be with you always. I lost mine 4 years ago and there's not a day goes by that I don't miss him.

Came down to the end of this thread only now and I have as such to apologise for my ignorance on previous post - sorry to hear that your father passed on after a hard and fierceful battle.
All the same - he was a man surrounded by a caring family and had as I read it in the blog - a rich and colorful life which I hope is giving you a source of spiritual consolotion at these difficult times.

My delayed prayers and thoughts ae with you and the family.

Rik
