4th time was it.
I lost my Dad last night around 9 p.m. from his 4th round of cancer. He had 100 chemo/radiation treatments in the last 4 years, but it finally took him last night. He looked so frail when I got to his after he'd passed. I had been there a few hours earlier while he was asleep because of his pain meds. He hadn't eaten in days but was still drinking some water to take pills. The last 4 years have been nothing but a fight for him, and me, and my FiL, but now 2 of those are over. My FiL died on Aug 23rd 2023, and my Dad died on Aug 17th, 2025 which is kinda symbolic to me because they're birthdays were July 25th, and 29th respectfully. My brain is happy that he doesn't have to be in pain anymore, but my heart hurts because I'll never see him again. That's all I've got to say about that other than FUCK CANCER!

I'm so sorry for your loss, brother. Pancreatic cancer got my mom in 2003. I was diagnosed with a stage 4 gist in February. Surgery and chemo, and I'm still here. I have shadow on my liver, which is the next battle. Nonetheless, I just wanted to comment on my condolences and to say that you will see him again. Maybe not with your eyes... but you'll see him again...š
