      I am so sorry to hear about the lost of your dad and I can definitly identify with what you are feeling, I lost my dad in Sept.2009 and I am struggling with this. It's just so hard to believe. You sound like you have a strong desire to be there for your mom, so you should do just that, continue to support her. Talk things out with her and together perhaps you can help one another. It sounds so easy to say but it is so difficult when you are trying to deal with your lost as well. It hurts, I just want to let you know that you are not alone and I will pray for you and your family.You take care of your self.

      I am so sorry for your loss! I know the unbearable pain, it is hard to really get a grasp on it, and then you realize you are getting up everyday, and getting dressed and days turn into weeks and somehow you get thru it. Losing my mother is still so hard, still unbelievable even tho i know its true. My siblings keep me strong, my children force me to be even stronger. I know she would want me to smile, your dad would want the same. I know that pain in your chest so well, and somehow you can live with it, it becomes part of the new you, the new normal. sending you a hug, and letting you know I am hear if you need a listening ear! xo

    • Close Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)

      My Dad is currently undergoing chemo and radiation for multiple chloromas following a brief remission. Remission was achieved by BMT.

      Treatments

      Bone Marrow Transplant Working / Worked
      Remission for apx 4 months. He felt better than he had in years for those 4 months, though.
      Chemotherapy Working / Worked
      Induction chemo-still can't believe how sick he was. Apparently didn't kill everything it should have. Too many side effects to list.
      Neupogen Working / Worked
      Severe bone pain
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      First major depression 6 years ago, started taking Zoloft. Works pretty well. But I can feel another one coming on.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Worked well at first, been on it 6 years. May need something new. NO libido!
    • Open Brain / CNS Tumors
      Type: Other

      Father with multiple chloromas

      Treatments

      Radiotherapy Too Soon to Tell
    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Parent

      After a brave battle with leukemia (AML) I lost my father yesterday. I would like to say that it was expected, but it really wasn't.

      Treatments

      Crying Too Soon to Tell
      Seems that all I can do is cry. Even when I tell myself to keep myself together.
      Pets Working / Worked
      I believe that on one hand God gives and on the other takes away. I feel that my loyal cat Joey is a gift that God gave me to help me cope and I treat him as such.
      Prayer Too Soon to Tell
      I think that when I pray now, my father can hear me. In time I think I will be able to know if he can or not.
