I Lost My Father to Cancer

I Lost My Dad to Cancer

Written on September 14th, 2007
I lost my dad to cancer in 1984. He had cancer of his pancreas and stomach. I was only a year and 10 months old though so unfortunately I don't remember him. I wish I did though because people say I am like him in a lot of ways. Cancer runs in my dad's side of the family and no one has survived it yet. I think that people who do survive cancer are very blessed and courageous. It is a common disease that plaques a lot of people. I hate it and fear it too. I hope that some one will find a cure before more people die from it.

    I lost my dad to cancer too, i was 6 years old and it's been 5 years, i still remember him loads, i also fear cancer, but my dad is a hero to me, he fought cancer once after having 3 children and he was told he would never have any more children but many years later he had 12 more children and sadly he died, i'm going to secondary school this year and i know he's always looking down at me with pride saying "that's my little princess" i always believe he's holding my hand and jesus is holding his and and god is holding his hand so i am triple secured not just double.

    I lost my dad to cancer in november of last year, I understand the heartache you are going through, you have to be strong for the family but inside you are broken up.

    I loved my dad more than anything in the whole wide world.

    My Granddad died from cancer last year. It's such a terrible disease. I give some money to Cancer Research each month. It's not much, but at least I feel like I'm doing something. It would be amazing if they can cure it one day!

    I lost my nephew to lukemia on June 5th of this year. I know the pain that you suffer. Cancer also runs in my family very badly. All that battled it, beat it the first time, but when it came back, there was nothing that could be done. I used to fear cancer as well. I see now that I am going to die when God wants me to, it doesn't matter how or when, just as long as I get to be with Him in the end. I do not fear death anymore. I do still fear when. I don't want to die before my children are grown.
