      Sorry no news is good news at the moment.

      I am loosing my dear dad, he can nearly no longer walk and his right arm is now going numb.

      The damm flu has robbed him of sleep for 4 nights and taking away his final quality of life.

      I feel ripped off and desperately sad.

      I hate melanoma.

                            Nahmi, I am truly saddened to read this.

                            A few years ago, my late wife's oncologist admitted that doctors know very little about melanoma. Unfortunately, the situation hasn't changed much since then despite the fact that new treatments continue to be discovered.

                            You and your dad continue to remain in my thoughts and prayers.

                                    I just can't let go I suppose…..is it worth Stereotactic radiation surgery on that one met that's causing motor function problems? I have asked the Oncologist anyway. Bit of long shot, just want him to have more time.

It is an evil disease and I’ve come to accept there is no understanding it most of the time. I will pray for peace for you.

He is losing movement in his right side as well.  His personality has changed dramatically and he's become extremely combative.
