We believe in U, know U can beat this. Prayers continue.

Oh this thread touches me big time. My father is currently fighting it. We found out late last year he had stage 4 in his nose and it had attached itself to the bone in his nose as well. The start was not good. I guess no news is good news after they say it is stage 4. He went through his surgery well but the outlook was not promising, but they said they were going to treat it with radiation every day for 35 days, then chemo following that for 40 wks.
The radiation made him weak towards the end but he took that well. The chemo was a different story. He lost 34lbs the first week and then about 50 all together the two wks following. He was hospitalized for 8 of the first 14 days. For such a strong man he was melting away. All we could do is pray it would get better, along with so many prayers from friends and family.
To make a long story short, today he has gone through about 7 wks of chemo. They now say there is no sign of the tumor and the following 33 treatments will be more for preventative. This roller coaster of a ride has pulled us from the lowest of lows, to the outlook being better than anyone could expect. Other than god answering our prayers, I can only say that what has helped us the most is not giving up. No matter how hard it gets, or how sick it makes you, NEVER give up.
By reading the posts you can tell that the world is on your side. Keep your chin up and know that you can beat this and any other problems that may come your way. Prayers to you and your family...

Fatalwishes, from someone that has only seen all you speak of, and have never felt it, it must be hard to listen to someone say that they feel your pain. It is hard from both ends. All you speak of has been lived through by us so believe me it will get better. Just keep your faith and stay strong minded.
This is not funny, but it is, my father cut all his hair off after his second treatment because he said he would get rid of it before it all fell out, so I did the same. Then two days after he cut his hair to about a quarter inch all over it all fell out in plugs. He has now shaved it slick. He barely beat the chemo to it. I have not yet shaved mine, but will be. I will not have any hair as long as he doesn't. Bad thing about it is I have a really big head.
I hear you on blowing the crap out of the pic. As soon as we are through with our treatments I plan on taking my dad on a trophy hunt somewhere, or a big fishing trip which he loves just as much. It will be like a victory party. Ill tell you what, keep my information and we will see about taking a hunt when you beat yours as well.

Prayers and a bump for you Jeff. Hope you are doing well?
