I am back here, after a three years battle, to thanks everyone here for being very helpfull during the this time. My dad sadly died at his 69, last august the first, just before the day we were waiting for: August 28, when he was going to turn 70.
Everything happens very quickly, or so we say. He was ok, but after starting chemo, he had a digestive bleeding that was never resolved and ended with disseminated intravascular coagulation. He was hospitalized for a month, always conscious, and he decide to go back home when he realized there were nothing to do. He was supposed to die after two or three days, because of the bleeding, but with us at home he was strong enough to last another month. His condition was not good, he lost his leg strength, hardly walk, and he was not independant anymore.
It was hard to see, but we were always together: his wife, my ten years old sister, my mom and me. We talk to him everything, and we felt very sad but he prepare us to that day, so we accept destiny.
Thanks everyone. Without this forum, this journey could be a lot harder.
My best wishes,
Oscar (always on behalf of Cesar, my dad).

Thanks, Allen!! You are one that I always read. A very importance source of information. I am trying to do so with another people in Venezuela.
I didnt say something: I didnt want to be there in the moment he pass, and I think he was "playing" hard, resisting, just because of me. When I realized that, I decided to go five days to my place (another city, after one month and a half with him). He agreed with me, because I had work to do and my fiancee was alone. Well, he didnt get up again from bed, he got worse and he died the day before I come back.
I think it was like an agreement. He didnt want me to experience that moment, and neither do I. We were too close, no doubt.
My sincerest condolences thx for sharing this with us. Your dad has a great family and all your caring, your support and your love made him feel safe and home. So he could do his finale step to the place we all will go - and be together then again.
Peace and blessings to your family- your father had his family with him until he was ready to leave. And now the family have each other to celebrate his life. You all will carry him in your heart and he will always watch over you.
Tú padre tuvo mucha suerte al tenerlos a ustedes sus seres queridos a su lado para poder partir en paz. Siento mucho tú pérdida y la de tú familia. Él ahora está descansando en paz.
precious time and monumental bonding is on all us to bare you so gifted to have time spent sharing and exchanging compassion and synchronized love that last deep in time
My deepest sympathies to you and your family. I am sure it was a great blessing for your father to be surrounded by family in his late stages. I should add that as my father was dying at home, with my mother and sister and me at his side, my mother told my sister and I that my father did not want to let go with us being present. We left, and the next day he died, with my mother present. So, your experience was not unique in this regard.
Thanks for sharing...I think it was the same. He knew I did everything for his health...and we always thought he was going to be with his wife and my little sister in that moment, and so ti was. Very brave my sister, by the way, because she was there, and she was very strong, supporting him until the last breath. We were worry about her, but she gave us a lesson.
