Cuck Fancer.

Our vacation went by so quickly, but was a lot of fun.  It was so nice to spend the week in 85 degree weather, on a pontoon boat with DH and friends that feel like our family.   Thankfully, I had them all there for me when I got the calls...

Unfortunately, I received some bad news about my dad while out of town.  July 09 he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.  The dr's weren't so sure he'd make it to my wedding in Aug 10.  Well, he did!  He handled treatment like a rockstar and in Oct 10 he was given the "cancer free" label.  Then, he got sick last month and it turns out the cancer has returned.    Now he's having all sorts of horrible complications due to the radiation scarring and the new cancer development.  It breaks my heart!  On Memorial Day this year, I got a tatoo of the Superman logo on the inside of my left bicep.  It's for my daddy.  He is my real-life Superman.  He cried when he saw it, and said "That's my girl".  He's not doing so hot now.  He had surgery while I was gone to remove an abcess, and they found he had a bowel perforation which was causing sepsis.  He was released from the hospital yesterday but sent home with an IV.  He cannot eat or drink for the next 4-6 weeks and needs to be plugged into this IV for 20 hours per day.  UGH!  Can you even imagine?  He is too weak to do any treatment at this time, and he hasn't agreed to treatment if/when he is cleared.  That man has gone through hell and back already.

Now that we are at cd9, I am really hoping this is THE cycle so I can tell my daddy that he's going to be a grandfather again.  Obviously, I know not to put all my eggs in one basket (no pun intended), and I don't want to stress too much about ttc.  I'm just remaining hopeful that I can deliver good news to him soon. 

The best part is that DH is doing a phenomenal job at keeping my spirits high and optimistic.  He is my rock.  The outpouring of support from my friends and family is amazing.  We'll get through it all.  One day at a time.  I'm happy to be home, and going to see Superman today! 

Live today for what it is.  Don't worry about tomorrow.

I am so sorry to hear that I could only imagine what you are going through right now..  Praying for your dad and a positive HPT this month so your Superman can have a big smile on his face.

I'm so sorry about your dad.  Cancer is such an awful disease.  One of my family members was diagnosed with stage 4 last year and it's such a battle.

I truly hope this is your BFP cycle!

It's hard to think of what to say except I wish your Superman all the best, and I wish you a BFP so he'll have something positive finally to hear. Hang in there. {Hugs}

I'm so sorry your dad has to go through this. He is very lucky to have a caring  daughter like you. Sending T&P your way for your dad and your BFP.

We are going through a similar situation right now, only it is my FIL.  He also recently got out of the hospital when he had an infection that was starting to turn him septic.  Since finding out, I am even more desperate to get pregnant and give him the chance to meet one more grandchild (definitely feeling stress and pressure to get KU).  I have recently taken to crying when I get AF because I know it's one less month that he may not make it to meet the next grandchild.  DH also seems more focused trying to get me KU and I can see the disappointment getting worse month after month for him too.

I'm sorry for what you are going through.  I REALLY hate cancer.  Feel free to pm me if you need to vent.

Cancer Sucks, praying for your family.

Thank you ALL!  T&P are so greatly appreciated, and they really do a lot to keep the family's spirits high.  Things are incredibly tough for all of us, but no where near as tough as what my dad continues to endure.  He is the toughest man I have ever met!  When I saw him today, he looked good.  He was still his sarcastic self and able to smile even when I could tell he really didn't have the energy to do so.  So, today is a good day.
