This has been a really bad month.

My dad was diagnosed a year ago with stage 3 esophageal cancer. It was a rough start but by spring was feeling well enough to go on a family cruise for their 50th wedding anniversary with all the kids and grandkids. We had a wonderful time and will treasure those moments always. Then in August he went through his scans and found out he is now stage 4 as it as spread to his bones and small spots on his lungs. He is choosing to do chemo again and is doing really well with it this time. We all thought since he is so positive right now we would plan a really happy family Christmas.
Well I guess I put a crimp in those plans. Last week I had another major heart attack. Unlike the last one they fixed this one with angioplasty and stents. I am tired of hearing I am to young for this to be happening. And while I am thrilled I did not need bypass this time, we do know the old bypasses are failing. Please keep our family in your prayers, We really want the holidays to be very special this year.

Thanks,
Kathryn

Wow. These are tough times for you. We're having problems with my mom's health too. She needs kidney surgery but her heart is too weak to last the operation among other complications.

Sorry to hear that your heart is a great concern. I guess all anyone of us can do is to live each day fully and take it from day to day.

We've had long talks in the past, Kath. Keep those spirits up, they are so good for you. As we know, miracles do happen, you just never know when. I think you have experienced in the past, right? Good wishes and prayers for both your dad and you, Kath. You and family will have a very special and blessed Christmas.
