Let him enjoy it.
My friend underwent radiation and chemo for Hodgkin's, which she's (thankfully) been in remission for for some time.
While she was going through it, her Dr flat out told her - smoke cigarettes if you want, smoke pot if you are nauseous, all the chemo's just killing it anyway.
Don't know if that was sound medical advice, but like I said, she pulled through just fine. Treatment kills everything anyway.

Yeah, I didn't say anything, but I can't help feelin' shitty when I hand him another...
Did you see that Dr Oz - Montel Williams pot show?
I've got some problems of my own I'd love to know if pot would work for, but it'll be 50 years before Indiana legalizes anything...Our docs are 20 years behind the rest of the country- from the mouth of a Doc from Johns-Hopkins!

My Dad died of cancer when I was 18, so I sympathize. Make the most of the time you have left (from what you said, it sounds serious). Enjoy your time together, let HIM enjoy the time (including his sodas :)) drill him for his memories, get his voice on tape if you want (you tend to forget what their voice sounds like, over time) and don't think too hard about the future, it only detracts from the present.
I didn't see the Dr Oz show, I just know about this stuff from the situations of friends/family. Unfortunately medical cannabis is illegal in both MD and IN, which sucks. I can't advise you to do anything illegal ;) but, you know. And most doctors will be upfront about things like that if you ask them. JH has some of the best docs in the world. I might also mention that it's legal in Michigan, if you feel like moving any time in the future :)

was part of a familial study and they were clear that my brother and I and(any children we may produce, he with his wife, and I with my husband!!! that work better for you?? rolls eyes...)
I was pretty sure I knew what you meant, but once I get an idea rattling around in my tiny brain, it sometimes refuses to let go even in the face of more logical conclusions.
Sorry about your dad. I've had cancer losses in my family as well. It's rough. If you feel up to talking, or not, we'll be here.

Thanks, Bunnyman, and Byte...
Not much to talk about now, I knew what was gonna come since I was little, his dad died when I was 3 his mom was 45 when she died, not even mentioning his grandparents...
Still, it's just sooo sad...Cleaned out my answering machine the other day and it had a years worth of messages (not my favorite task...) and every time he left a message his voice was less and less untill the last one was just a whisper...
Seems unreal that a few cells could do that to a person...he's 57 and he looks 87...
You really do havta live every day like this is the last decent one you're gonna get...

Yeah. But you know, it sounds to me that despite everything, he's still mostly there, and able to enjoy the little things in life. Maybe that, and the memories you had, are the important thing.

Just found out yesterday that my sister has been diagnosed with stage II breast cancer (not exactly sure which one though). While she was crying when she told me, she still sounded upbeat. She says the girls have failed her for the last time, and she'll finally get that breast reduction she's always wanted (she's always been in the double EE's since high school).
It was a shock to hear. :(

Sorry, steggy...
They did well to find it that early in such ample bosoms. Hope she comes out of it alright, and loving her sporty new boobs, too... Though I don't envy her, that's a rough surgery...
It's just staggering to me since this started how many people I know have had or do have a cancer...I don't even know WHAT to think about it all.

Thanks, WIM. Like I said, she has a pretty optomistic attitude about it all. We can't say we were overly suprised as we've lost several family members to cancer - the most shocking was our grandmother when we were children - she was diagnosed with cancer when she died. They weren't sure exactly where it started, as she was completely riddled with it when she passed away. She never sought medical attention because the doctors kept telling her to stop smoking when she was diagnosed with emphysema.
We kinda knew one of us would likely get cancer at some time. It's always either cancer, heart attack or berry aneurysm that gets my family members. But my mom and dad are the only one's who seem to be immune to the family's curses. Almost all of the men in my dad's side usually pass between the ages of 45 and 50, while both genders on my mom's side are extremely succeptible to the aneurysm (all of my mother's siblings had/have them - my uncle is the only one to pass at 29 years of age).
Bleh. It's hard to tell what causes these things. Obviously if everyone lived and ate better it could help in prevention. And none of them are a particularly nice way to go. I feel for your family.

Back when I wuz going thru puberty my nipplez swoll (swelled?) up and I wuz worried that I wuz going to grow boobz. (I'm a guy, 52)
Occasionally in later yirz, it woud happen again, but not so bad.
About 15 yirz ago I figured out the culprit. Fudgesiclez!
Never had any since and it never happenz anymore.
