Well, hello,
I am from Canada in grade 10. My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer 1 1/2 years ago and hasn't left the house since April. The doctors told us he just got a lung infection today. It's much more than I care to deal with now. But it has made him very unresponsive and so he hasn't been eating for the last couple days. I just love him so much and wish I wasn't writing all this now. But c'est la vie.

Masha, welcome. I am so sorry about your father's cancer. You are much too young to have this burden on you. It is hard for even us older people to deal with.

You and your father are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hello Marsha
You are in a place that nobody wants to be in, but you can do for him more that any medicine, just love him like you do. He may not be able always to show you what it means to him but he will do back flips in his mind. Please come back and share more if you can.
God Bless
