And no one ever thinks it can happen to a loved one - until it does. At least the fact that it has a decent survival rate takes some of the sting out of the diagnosis and I wish your father nothing but the best in his treatment and prognosis. <br /><br />When my father was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma I felt the same overwhelming things that you are going through with the very big exception of the fact that his cancer was "treatable but not curable". My Dad had always said that if he ever got cancer, he'd kill himself rather than go through that kind of slow, lingering, miserable death but when he actually got cancer, he decided to fight it instead and fight it he did. Sadly, though, it really wasn't curable no matter how much we hoped for a miracle. <br /><br />I wish your father a successful fight and strength not only for him but for your entire family. Keep us posted on how he does!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698969349369789642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31704895.post-84325959820186349942006-11-17T21:44:00.000-05:002006-11-17T21:44:00.000-05:00The more serious the situation the more bizarre it...The more serious the situation the more bizarre it becomes.Chicky Chicky Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18056206889322232109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31704895.post-76007357067252714402006-11-17T16:52:00.000-05:002006-11-17T16:52:00.000-05:00Cancer of the larynx is not an easy diagnosis, but...Cancer of the larynx is not an easy diagnosis, but I'm glad the cure rate is so good.<br /><br />I'll be thinking of you and your family.toyfotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17925976386177377987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31704895.post-69969734149386897902006-11-17T08:52:00.000-05:002006-11-17T08:52:00.000-05:00The survival rate is very high.
