For my beloved Dad.
He was just diagnosed with Lung cancer. Sounds like its pretty advanced … both lungs, at least 9 masses one of which is on his pulmonary artery. We’ll get more details today after he sees a specialist.
How can I deal with this? Parents are never supposed to get sick. Their kids need them even when grown up.
Re: Prayers Needed
I'm so sorry Mama. It is extremely hard seeing a loved one, especially a parent, in pain and helpless. All you can do for them is pray and be there for them. Also, do your own research. Doctors can be stupid and negligent so be sure you get your father the best possible treatment out there. Explore all of your options.
There are support groups for families dealing with Cancer. Some times, you just need someone to talk to who can relate to what you are going though ... maybe you should look into these support groups, see if there is one in your area. Maybe talking to others who are going a similar situation can help you deal with this.
Inshallah, your daddy will pull through this.

make sure you support him…and especially your mom:blush:she will need your love a lot during this tough time:rose:
seek many doctors advises, and remember than accepting a difficult truth is sometimes better for future, than getting into unrealistic wishes and numerous painfull useless treatments 
best wishes for the future

May Allah (swt) give him full and speedy recovery.

Re: Prayers Needed
It is very difficult when a parent falls ill, especially from cancer. The physical and emotional stress that it causes is great. The best thing for you to do is be there for your father. He needs a support system and you are a part of it. Keep him positive. Get him to eat healty foods, even if he’s not hungry. Seek out the opinions of other doctors. Look for alternative treatments that may help him- homeopathy etc.
Here is a link to an organization in the Bahamas that uses alternative treatments to treat cancer patients: http://www.cancure.org/iat_clinic.htm
I will keep your father in my prayers.
