It finally took my dad early sat. morning.
It was sad watching his body slowly deteriorate away.
He went from 230# to 120# and when he died he couldn't have weighted 100.

My condolences to you and yours, Doug.
My wife just lost her mother the same way. It was a difficult time for the entire family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom to this disease, so I know how difficult it is to watch.

Dam Doug, I'm really sorry to hear about your loss.
I'm lucky enough to still have both my parents but my dad's had heart troubles for quite some time now and I know it's just a matter of time so I try to enjoy as much time with him as I can. You really do only get so much time and no matter what it's worth more than any money.

That stinks Doug. We just found out that my Father in Law has Prostate Cancer last week. All my best, 59 is way too young.

Condolences Doug. My Father-In-Law went through the same deal a couple years back. A year and a half of suffering with a brain tumor. He also was 59 when he died. Closest person I've had for a Dad since my Dad died in 72. It's a huge loss..... The only good thing about it is his suffering is over now. We must carry on when these great people fall.....

Doug I can truly say I know what your going through. Our family just lost my eldest sister to cancer at 62. She put up a valiant fight for eight years fighting off what finally consumed her.
My thoughts are with you and your family and I'll put some extra revs on the prayer wheel for ya. Take care of the family matters, and as some in the group told me we'll hold down the fort 'till ya get back.

My sincer condolences.
My father went that way also.
Took 2 yrs.
He was 81. But no one should have to go thru that.

I'm so sorry about your dad. I know how hard it is. My father in law was just given 3-4 months to live (lung cancer). He's been battling it for over a year and went from over 200 lbs to probably 135 right now.
We're all thinking of you.
