Tysm for all. Unfortunately my dad's death was long and horrifying bc he couldn't breathe . He died of leukemia to my knowledge, not prostate cancer and please dont jump on me for saying so bc I am vaxxed and I'm not an anti vaxxer,but I have no doubt that that the vaccines sped up his demise as he got dx with cll months later and no,he never got covid. I did and got vaxxed with him and I'm crippled since covid bc I already have ddd,as fibro Endo adeno and apparently they believe now a neuroinflmmatory autoimmune illness . I had a severe reaction to my covid vaccines and got rebound and long covid,and i dont wish to be political ,I just want others to know that my dad was fighting with no pca spreading for seven years. Post covid shot and obviously all treatment , he got cll . My dad did not die of prostate cancer my friends . My dad died of a disease he got from very aggressive treatment and then one could factor in poor diet, a life around car fumes ,the covid vaccine ,and enormous stress. Through all treatments my dad's pca only grew maybe slightly . He had mets head to toe from his scalp to his feet since dx at stage 4, but with treatment no met ever significantly grew , so please my friends ,though i believe in using alternative treatments to help the body handle all the pca treatments, he refused and it's important in my heart that you know to please have a hematological oncologist bc when he first could not breathe all hospitals and pca Drs said he was fine , and with research and by his choice ,he sought the help of the onco but he was so concerned about the pca he chose to go into a pca trial rather than treat the leukemia and his pca recently put him into lu177 when his body could not handle it ,but he was trained to be at war eith pca and he needed care for the advancing cll. I'm writing tis post to protecty warrior friends bc all Drs seem to not want other oncologists involved and Drs egos prevented my dad from getting proper care. May you all have a beautiful day and celebrate with me the life of a man who worked tirelessly to bring joy and love into the world . My sister feared for me and i was with him untill ten hours bf he died . Once he had almost no ability to speak he use his last breath to call my sister and I and his last words to me were a labored ERICA I LOVE YOU ERICA. and then he asked my older sister to help him die . I miss him every second of every minute ,and i write this in grief becsuse my dad always taught me, of you can't help yourself help someone else. It's who you are .

With love ,your friend and forever advocate , Daddy's little girl

So very sorry for your terrible loss. What great comfort you were to be with your father to the end and both express your lasting love for one another. Bless you & your sister with the legacy of your father's love and strength to help you carry on.

I’m so sorry for your loss. My mom died of pancreatic cancer and she too had problems with breathing at last stage. Very difficult to witness and you feel so small, so powerless.

Please know that you did absolutely everything you could. And that most of all, you were there for your dad. I hope you find comfort in that. Your dad suffers no more, he is now free.

Please feel free to reach out if you feel so.

No man is an island,

Entire of itself;

Every man is a piece of the continent,

A part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea,

Europe is the less,

As well as if a promontory were:

As well as if a manor of thy friend's

Or of thine own were.

Any man's death diminishes me,

Because I am involved in mankind.

And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;

It tolls for thee.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

Peace be with you 💙

Randy 🙏

Its really difficult to lose our parent(s). And the experience of witnessing their passing is very traumatic/emotional.

I witnessed both my parents pass in hospice. Takes a long time to not remember them in their final hours of labored breathing (Cheyne-Stokes breathing) and to remember them in good times.

I hope the best for you coming and share your sadness and loss as best I can from here.

I’m so sorry for your loss of your dad. My father died in 2019 from CLL. Sounds like your dad was a great person and knew deep love from his family.

Your relationship with your father reminds me so much of mine. I read your previous posts in tears. Nothing prepares us for these moments. I wish there was something to take away the unbearable pain of watching the people we love most suffer. My dad is stable at the moment and for that I am thankful. But I am mad at God and have lost my faith due to his diagnosis, and I’m trying to find my way back. You are currently going through the stages that I hope to not go through for a long, long time. I wish I can give you a hug and say it’ll all be alright, but right now I’m sure it feels anything other than that. The journey to healing is going to be long and rough, but you will get there. We all will. Please take care of yourself during this time. 💖 -Michele

I'm so sorry for your loss of your dad. My husband has CLL secondary to radiation for PCa. I took your words to heart. We put CLL first as far as treatment concern, but perhaps that is because his CLL is very aggressive and his PCa so far not. I wish healing for you!

I have followed your every post, in part because of your dad's CLL, but mostly because of your compelling love and support for your dad. I wish you healing and finally peace. You did every single thing a daughter could do for your dad - and then some.

My sister actually was his primary and in control of most decisions bc I am too sick. I have no idea how she 45 min away for seven months ran s business and ran to my dad but I humbly admit it is she who deserves the most accolades . I was always there to emotionallly support him to stay instead of an aid e and he knew I loved him more than anything in the world and I'm positive he felt the same . We had a great dad,and for those who know me and my undying love , all that's beautiful in me ,I get from my dad . Tymsm for your kind words and condolences all.

So your Dad's final words to you two wonderful daughters "Don't wait until you're on your death bed to tell people how you feel you might be too weak to lift your middle finger."

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

What a giant hole the loss of your dear dad leaves. And he lives on in you, all that he shared/ taught and mentored is eternal. His suffering is over and may that truth comfort you in your pain And grief.

I I'm a total wreck after saying goodbye to my dad yesterday morning after watching him deteriorated in he most painful ways. I spent the majority of the past month that he's been in the hospital just researching trying to find ways to help him get better. It was always one step forward two steps back. I have come to the conclusion that it is the spike protein from the covid virus AND vaccine AND booster shots that is wreaking havoc on people everywhere! The most survivable cancer diagnosis in the world is now 18 months till death in so very many cases!? Please I implore you look up Spike detox. Also not interested in getting political nor conspiracy theory debates. Not what I'm interested in. I just miss my Dad like crazy 😭, and if what I've learned helps even one person.. 😌 my best wishes thoughts and prayers to all of you! I do want to hear more success stories
