My father is currently in the final stages of losing his 5 year long battle with cancer. He was diagnosed with colon cancer back then and eventually after several times relapsing it spread to his lower back bones. At this point his body is slowly shutting down because of the pressure the tumor is exerting on his spine. The doctors, that were once the only ones who would do anything for him including high risk surgeries and experimental treatments, have given up. we know now he only has maybe a few months left and maybe can even hang on for a year or so. im just asking for those of you out there who pray to include him and my family in your prayers. My mother could be living on her own so she will need all the help she can get. My father was a fire captain for ventura city fire department. he served as a firefighter for a combined 35 years. he was a truly great man. an avid outdoorsman a hard worker and a loving father. he worked sometimes up to 3 days straight just to put food on the table for my brother and sister, my mother and me. if i could go back and change the short 18 years that i had with this man i would. for those of you who still have your fathers and mothers, hug them close and appreciate everyday you have with them before you can't. if you pray or not a comment or any support for my family and i will help a lot. my family and i will be following this post and i know anything will help. thanks guys.
