I hav'nt posted in a while.......A few weeks ago we were given the devasting news that my Dad's cancer has spread to his brain in two places so we are looking for a miracle!
A little background, three years ago my Dad was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer, he had surgery and chemo and was given the all clear, then last February while I was fostering in Antigua we found out that it had come back, this time in a small spot right next to his Aeorta not a bad cancer just a bad place, not able to be zapped with radiation because he had a small annerism on his Aeorta ok so more chemo, good news the cancer shrank by more than 50% no more chemo for a while he and my Mum came out to visit us from England for a few weeks my Dad looked and felt so great. Then from just after Christmas my Dad had been feeling very nauseaus and dizzy and had headaches and spent alot of time in bed, the doctor's were baffled, so a routine catscan and appointment with his oncologist said it had spread to his live a tiny bit but could be treated with more chemo when he was feeling better, but said he will make an appointment for a brain scan to see if it would show why he had so many headaches.
F..k I was not expecting this news I am so angry at cancer, my Dad just turned 70 he looked so great when I last saw him. I jumped on a plane with Gabi and spent a couple of weeks in England and leaving was the hardest thing I have ever done not know when or if I will see him again, he has just had a course of radiation so we are waiting for news on that, please pray if you do and send good thoughts and vibes his way. Sorry this post is so heavy but there is something about opening you heart in blogland that helps. I also know my spelling is really bad with medical stuff.

I was going to ring you last night as I had this feeling that something was wrong when I hadn't heard from you and you had not been posting on here. I just want to give you a big hug and you are so far away...I will call you later today.
I will be praying for you dad
Nikki, you were missed and I was beginning to wonder if something was going on. I'm SO sorry to hear about your dad. I will keep him in my prayers and hope that they can zap this cancer. I understand your heavy heart... (((Hugs)))
