Update:


Leaving the hospital now. Seems like it is fluid in the lungs. They're gonna figure out if the longest causing fluid messing with the heart or if the heart is causing the fluid on the lung. It's also probably going to get the biopsy if hes here through next week.

He's gonna have to quit smoking dude

He quit 2 years ago, he just vapes now

Aaaaaaaaaaaand here's the scientific study saying that vaping increased intrastital lung fluidhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30358437/

Even more concerning is your apathetic response.

Godspeed srs

Dont be a dick, im on pubmed all the time, while i agree with you no need to phrase it that way brother....

Truth hurts bro. If you can't take the tough love of "quit fuucking smoking", you're lost. I'm not gonna be around here and mope with you while you and your family have a ****ing serious-ass nicotine problem. Do something about it and be glad God has given your dad a second chance.

Nah i agree with you, quit that sh*t......

I edited my original message

Also this is coming from an alcoholic who quit after he had paancratitis

It was either me or the coffin. Good luck.

I agree he got a 60th chance in life....

Interesting you presumably believe in God. But are such a dick. Perhaps look at yourself before giving advice.

Update:

He will be coming home soon after a bit more than a month, they are still running some more tests on him first.

Bad news update:

They found two more blockages in my dads heart. He needs bypass surgery in his heart after they take care of the cancer

Update:

Dads home for a bit today until he has to go back for his surgery, he was home for literally 5 min then left to go to his GFs, he drove himself lol


Pls respond people, feel like im talking to myself here haha

Not responding, but I do read all of them srs.

Feels to me like god really wants this guy home....

Sorry brother. Really hope everything turns out OK.

Lost my mother in 2019 to cancer, and it was very very tough.

Still randomly cry when I remember her.

Thanks my friend
I feel the same way, he made it so far, so no complaintsSorry brah i truly am

stay strong, brah

Trying brah, hes back home now, hes just out of it

stay strong hope he gets through this

spring of 2019 dad went to the hospital for a tumor in his bladder region. long story short they said it was terminal. dad wasn't sleeping, mom and I work so there was no way we could care for him at home. in addition to not sleeping (acting crazy), he couldn't chit, feet were super swollen so walking was tough and he couldn't eat much. we could not care for him at home.

the hospital kept wanting to push him out because there wasn't anything the hospital "could do". the oncologist did a biopsy and suggested we try chemo as a Hail Mary. we did and the chemo wiped him out. I remember visiting him and he would just stare at the ceiling. it was nuts. the process for actually doing something took 3 months. month and a half doing tests and chit (took a lot of time to run tests and what not). another few weeks actually getting chemo and a another few weeks when dad was in that fuked up state.

well after the chemo dad couldn't eat. he had to get the liquid chit. again, the docs said hospital is a acute facility so he has to go. so I was like yeah ok but find us a place to send em that gives tpm. well then they said dad got worse and they basically said they were willing to send him to hospice and pay for it. 3 weeks at hospice this man got better and walked out on his own.

don't mean to give you unsolicited advice but my point is that you should always question the docs, do your own research and ask questions. be sure to advocate for your dad to make sure he is getting the best care. I've learned that the hospital system gives no chits. they will do the care fuking minimum.

second point is, you just never know. dad wasn't supposed to get better but he just got his chemo port taken out today and is able to go on 3+ walks. he was supposed to be dead in just a week. hang in there brah

Sorry to hear about your struggles as well, thanks brah, hes home now, taking care of him now...

My dads been home for about two - three days now. Hes still not feeling so good overall, he went to the doctors today got the stitches taken out, hes still wobbly when he walks without a cane or walker. Still needs to go back to the hospital for a couple of days for his surgeries. But overall improving slowly i think.

Small update:

He goes up and down, he threw up twice again today. We are going to the doctors tomorrow to discuss his surgery. Tonight he is not doing to well, he keeps putting hes head on table like fading in and out and throwing up

Damn bro, hope he's back on his feet soon.

Hope so too, just found out today he need open heart surgery

Damn, hang in there brah

Medicine is crazy good now days for that sort of thing. I pray he will be back on his feet soon.

How you getting on ShortMonster? I had a friend who was a cardiac surgeon. Wild how for the patients it seems like the biggest deal ever, but for him he was doing 3 or 4 a day.
