Just wanted to update my father for whom I joined this portal was diagnosed with stage 4 Prostate cancer in 2017 June and went for testical removal followed by oral chemo for 2 yrs and after 6 months of oral chemo he went ahead with 40 radiation of 5 minutes each. Doctor said with this he can survive for 5-5.5 yrs. He was doing very well till 2020 july he got covid and then MDS was trigerred and then AML , just on 7 Feb he lost his fight of AML and I miss him so much. His prostate was still neglibile even till recently 0.01. Take care everyone and do well he left us at the age of 69 . within 4.5 yrs of prostate cancer diagnosis. I still feel he was having low hemoglobin suddenly after radiation and we kept asking the doctor he kept ignoring , we met hemotologist also who also said everything was well. but after covid he wanted to know about this and we found out he has mds now which in 6 months on treatment converted to AML.

I'm so sorry. He was hit with a whole series of fatal illnesses at the same time. I'm sure you miss him very much. He was lucky to have you by his side throughout all that.

I was waiting to hear from you and Darryl you both were great support during his prostate diagnosis , but its all so heavy feeling now he was just 69 , life seems to be a challenge now

in reply to Kshiprakapoor

My dad passed 24 yrs ago and two yrs after an RP at 71 yrs old . I Can relate . But our fathers are always “ more” than a just physical presence on Earth . Their dna and spirit lives on inside of us . I love my dad as much today as the day he left . No more suffering now . Peace in heaven . 🙏💔😔

After this in AML i found many useful groups for him on FB where ppl helped a lot with new medicine names and medicine supply but for Indian doctors medicine was so new to blv that they still did his chemo and they knew now he will not be able to take anymore chemo . I am so lost as I said no for chemo but they scared my father , my life will never me same again the heart is very heavy why him

Kshitra..You are right...Fear is the weapon used to scare patients to overprescribe, highly toxic treatments. And it is not only in India..the condition is the same in USA too. To me it seems that Indian Oncologists are a bad xerox copy of Western Oncologists...There is no original thinkers who weigh pros and cons of each treatment and provide individualized ,care and treatments. I understand it is very hard for loved ones who feel regretful about what they could have or should have done. Its part of grieving process. Wish you all the best and re emergence from this painful, emotional state caused by Father's Death.

I sympathize with your loss of your father. After being dedicated to his care and helping him through those illnesses, it will be difficult to fill the emptiness. He was fortunate to have you.

Kshiprakapoor in reply to Grumpyswife

I am grateful to be born as his daughter in this life . I can’t even be his 1% in terms of helping relatives , friends , workers , unknown financially and with his time during their tough time in life . He never asked anything back . He had so much patience , hard work waking up at 4 am and also keeping his emotions within himself . I can’t imagine being his 1% . Why was he like this ? From where he got so much time to help and care for almost everyone and how he could be so much patience even his last days suffering with so much pain why why why this happened if his karmas were so good ? Some people explain the theory of moksha ( free from re birth cycle ) then he definitely passed his exam . But I am so angry with God . I can never believe in God in good karma

I understand how much you are hurting and am very sorry for you. Please do not be angry at God. He is the creator of all of us and knows when it is our time to live.

It sounds like he gave your father a wonderful daughter to enjoy in this life. You will reunite with him again someday in heaven. May God bless you

My sincere heartfelt condolences. Big hugs to you. Stay strong and look after yourself. xo

My deepest sympathies. He must have been a very good man to raise a daughter who stood by him and misses him so deeply. It's a hard part of life but cherish the memories and times with him. The pain eventually diminishes but never goes away completely. My dad passed 21 years ago and I still think of him every day.

It was very difficult to open this post as the daughter of castrate resistant and preleukemia who is fighting for his life and I cry daily at the thought. Condolences aren't enough . I offer you understanding of fear of life so such a beautiful man...the truth which is that he lives on in you ...but words fall short. I'm crying your tears . You honored him so beautifully in these posts .

I am so sorry to hear about your loss of your father. My mother passed away last year after years battling Parkinsons disease. I am thankful she is at peace and my heart is filled with her memories, where I find comfort. I wish you comfort through this difficult time. Everybody on this site is a true fighter and supporter, and we mourn all warrior losses.

Kshiprakapoor,

I am so sorry to read your post. Thank you for letting everyone know that your father has passed. He was a lucky man to have you.

A significant loss is never easy to bear. We learn to live with it. We never "get over a loss". Family, clergy or friends can be helpful--and sometimes not. One thing is certain, to experience the joys, we also are subjected to the grief, the pain of loss--a bad deal that life hands us--but spiritually--there are reasons that there are so many beliefs that acknowledge a life beyond this one.

You will be in my thoughts.

I am really sorry for your loss. Can understand your frustration having dealt with a few 'top' Indian oncologists now.

You tried your best for your father and somewhere he is smiling and very proud of having a loving and caring daughter like you.

So sorry for your loss. You are in my heart and prayers. My husband was diagnosed in 2011 and passed away on December 5th, 2018. I miss him very much so I can understand what you are going through. There really aren't any great words to help someone through this. Just know that I hold your broken heart gently and pray softly that you will get some strength and comfort once in awhile.

Thank you for sharing during such a challenging time in your life. It is obvious that you loved him deeply and respected him enormously. I have a daughter like you, and I hope it helps you to know that she is an incredible support and comfort to me - and I am sure your own father was blessed by your love as well. Condolences .

1.5 yrs back I told him not to go out that day he was worried for my sister and mother future that I need to complete 4 storey house for them 3 storey for commercial rent . He said he has a tender for construction project which he stopped taking since 10 yrs . I told him enough work it’s your retirement age take money from me as much I can help as I m who I m bcoz of him I am able to work and earn , but he told me no . Just before that prostate doctor told him you are all good and done 3 yrs mark now come 6 monthly just be safe from covid . He went out and got covid since then my mother and sister and father were running first covid recovery then got aml triggered from covid. I am so sad I am so lost I dnt feel like living why why this happened he was always so worried about all of us . What we will do of that property of that money . Everyone knows from where covid has come who has done that so many lives are gone but still no one is punishing the culprit

Your pain is intense.I lost my beautiful husband to this disease 67 years old … four weeks tomorrow.

I know where you are.

I haven’t been able to speak on a phone yo all the wonderful friends we have gathered together over the years, but somehow, here I feel safe. Surrounded by brave souls, men who face their own mortality …

I’m staying here

I’m going to read their words of wisdom faith and hope

And my wish is that all of them will see a cure … in my lifetime

I pray for you

They say take care of you

I am trying

Let’s try together

Bless you…. And God … whatever we all perceive you to be … please be with us all.

Kshiprakapoor,

I'm so very sorry for your loss! I -and many others here - know what it is like to feel like doctors have let you down, and the shock of losing someone suddenly who appeared to be doing pretty well. Thank you for fighting for and with your father - know that you did a wonderful thing, even if all you feel right now is pain and anger. Being there and fighting beside someone shows the greatest love. I hope you can take some comfort in that. Sending love and wishes for peace to you and your family!

In solidarity,

Sunlight
