Courageous 12 year battle

It is with a heavy heart that I must say that my warrior father passed away last Sunday after battling this beast for 12 years.

He was trying to get to the LU-177 treatment which was scheduled for next week. He had went through 2 docetaxel treatments at the end which caused severe infections after each infusion without helping with tumor burden. I wish this had not been a requirement to get the Lu-177. I believe this killed him.

I wish all you warriors the best. Stay strong and continue battling. I will be praying for each of you. Hopefully, before long we will have a cure for this awful disease. I will forever miss my warrior, but he has instilled in me his zest for life and never give up attitude. God bless.

I'm so sorry. I know he tried hard, going through many drugs. It's always tough deciding to take a drug after the body is worn out with so many previous medications. You seem to have helped him a lot, and your fighting spirit comes through.

I read your previous posts, ….. you were very supportive and actively helped your father as much as you could have. He was very lucky to have you by his side advocating for him, loving him. And even in your grief, you have taken time to encourage and support the rest of us. You are obviously a very good person Dadslove, full of love, strength and character …. thank you for thinking of us . A big fuzzy warm e-hug out to you.

So sorry for your loss. Here in OZ we have to try the other drugs first before LU-177 can be given also.

So very sorry for your loss. Your Father truly was a Warrior to survive 12 years with older therapies. Yes, we all hope for a cure, or extended remission one day soon.

Know this, your Fathers spirit will be with you always. You will feel his presence at unexpected times. He knew of your support.

Our best to you and your family, Mike & Barb
