So sorry, Sonja. Has he considered any alternative therapies?

Thanks all! I don't know if he's doing alternative stuff, but I'll ask him next time I talk to him, we're going to call every week or so. Well I hope there's a next time I can talk to him, sigh

I am sorry to learn about your dad SonjaMarie,
We're currently coping with a relative in a similar situation (although not quite as close as yours), so I empathise.
Sending positive thoughts.

So sorry to hear about your dad, SonjaMarie. My thoughts are with you.

Sonja, I'm sorry to hear about your father. Hope you and him get to have some time together.

Unfortunately I don't think that'll happen. He lives in L.A. or did, but he's moving in with some friends. I can't afford to fly there and with all the stuff going on with flights and not being able to read or go to the restroom the last hour would be a bit of a torture for me!

Even though biologically he's my older brother and sister's father, he was the closest thing I've had to one. My sister did get to see him in Oct when we first found out about this.

Sorry about your Dad, SJM. And about the distance--it's a long drive. I remember both Jay's father and mine were diagnosed as incurable in the spring of '98, one in Port Townsend, Washington, and the other in Los Angeles. We spent the first half of that year driving up and down I-5.

MLE: thanks, but I don't even drive so that's not an option. Sorry about your father and FIL.

my manager got fired today, I actually liked her, got a new pro-military guru(yippy!)for a boss and still no date of lay off but they assured us it's coming. Funny thing is it's only us 'special' people whom they just spent thousands and thousands of dollars training to be 'universal' in our jobs.....so how does that figure up? to a crock of $#*@ I tell you.
