Hi everyone,

I'm new on here.  My dad has been living with different forms of cancer since 2007 when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had treatment which cured it for a short time.  He was then diagnosed just before Christmas 2009 when he was about to retire with bowel cancer and he had part of his bowel moved and treated with chemotheraphy which unfortunately left him with very bad neuropathy that no-one seems to be able to do anything for.  A year later his bowel cancer appeared in his liver and he had over half of his liver removed again he had some chemo but then again after another year he had to go back under for more of his liver to be removed and more chemo.  Last year he was told it was terminal cancer when it reappeared again on his adrenal gland, spots in his stomach cavity and in two of his lymph nodes.  It has been a tough time for us all but the worst thing is his neuropathy as he is unable to do a lot of things now because of the pain and he says if he'd have known that the chemo would have done that to him he wouldn't have bothered.  Through all of it though he's been an amazing fighter and he is and always will be my hero. :)
