Dear Tiki, Firstly I want to say how sorry I am about the passing of your grandfather. I lost my father in Feb this year to throat cancer, I am devastated, my dad was admitted to hospital in Sept 2011 for a total laryngectomy & he was to come home after 14 days, things did not go as planned as the cancer was aggressive.... from Sept to Feb we only managed to get dad home for 3 nights. Ifind myself reliving events that happened in the hospital & some nights I cry for hours, I cannot get those images out of my head, the first thing people say to me is "his not suffering now" how the hell can they say that to me, it really drives me mad, I know his not suffering because his not here !!! I want him back but I want him back without that rotten cancer. I was approached by a friend of dads last Saturday & this person was so horrible she actually asked me how I could let the dr's "hack my father up" I was numb, I was lost for words, I did not allow anyone to hurt my dad... people need to shut up... nobody knows what its like to see someone you love battle this disease & unless they have travelled the path they should shut up. Sorry for venting but I can honestly say that I know what your going thru & I send big (((HUGS))) & lots of strength to you. Alison xxx ... View more

Thinking of you at this very difficult time. I could not contemplate the "what if's" whilst I was caring for my dad, then a phone call at 11pm on the sunday night before we lost dad changed eveything. I can honestly say that it was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, walking into the hospital knowing that it was going to be the final time I spend with dad.... When I arrived I somehow found the strength to hold dads hand, talk to him, massage his feet, hands & back, in his final moments I laid my head on his chest & felt him take his last breath. I miss him so very much, that will never change. Looking back I am glad that I could be their to make his journey from this world to the next more comfortable. I send you (((HUGS))) & strength Alison ... View more
