Hate to hear that, Freebird. I wish you and your family all the strength you can get for the coming year.

Not too good. He probably has 6 - 12 months. They said that if he went through Chemo all that stuff he might get another year, maybe not.{and stubborn too! }

My father had a partial hepatic lobectomy for his liver cancer, which was a secondary, and no cure but it gave him more time. Not possible in your fathers situation?
 
Continued best wishes and prayers for your dad, Freebird - hope he's still around in 10 years time and can sit back and laugh at those doctor's opinions!

Ake ake kia kaha! Forever and ever be strong!

I second this and hope all goes as well as it can, Freebird.

No it doesn't sound like it, his lungs are not in too good shape {years of breathing chem's will do that} so they say he's not a good candidate to operate. They are going to do some more tests keep an eye on it
 
I wrote this for my father who was at Hickham airfield. He had a Jap bomb burst his eardrum and was sent home. i'm not a writer, but for all of you who served your country, God Bless Karl
Sunrise, By Karl Sitts

We sang tunes like "Yankee Doodle"
Hummed to Goodman and the like
Watched the Duke fight with the bad guys
At the shows on Friday nights

When the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor
At the rising of the sun:
before their planes had disappeared
We understood that war had come

The Japs had tried to cripple us
Kill the beast within his den
Instead the sleeping tiger rose…
The beginning of the end

It took four more years of fighting
Until the job was finally done:
Four painful years of struggling
Before the setting of the sun

Our brave boys came marching home then
At least those who finally could
For so many of them rested
In the jungles where they once stood.

Their ultimate price for freedom
In the air on land and sea
Was so we could watch the sun rise
In a country proud and free
 
Hi,Thank's for all the thoughts and prayers for Karl. I am his wife Melissa. He goes in for surgery on Tuesday, March11,08. They will be doing the pacemaker at that time. They just place wires on the heart that leads to the pacemaker it's self. They will make a pocket under the skin and fat over the peck muscle this is where the pacemaker is placed. He will stay over night and I will bring him home on Wednesday. Karl would like to thank each of you for your thoughts and prayers. He has really enjoyed reading your threads in the forum and sharing his poem he wrote for his father on page 9.
Sincerely, Melissa
 
I wish your father all the best, Freebird. Doctors can be wrong, and I hope they are in your fathers case. My lass just recently lost an uncle who had 3 months in the doctors opinion, he fought on for 18 before deciding enough was enough.

All the best to you too, Karl. Hope everything goes well on the surgery bed, I'm sure it will...
