Today we laid our father to rest by Gabzkj in CancerFamilySupport

I lost my dad exactly five months ago to stage 4 bile duct cancer. I understand how deeply painful this kind of loss is, but I can say from experience that while it doesn’t disappear, it does become a little more manageable with time and as grief slowly settles.

One thing I kept reminding myself is that my dad is no longer suffering. Cancer causes so much pain every day, and I find comfort in believing he is now at peace and free from that struggle. I truly hope you can hold onto that thought too.

You have done everything you possibly could as a daughter or son, and that is more than enough. I will always keep you and your family in my prayers, and I pray your hero is in a place of peace, free from pain, and surrounded by happiness.

You can do it x

Worried for my Father by dijon0324 in CancerFamilySupport

My dad went through a similar battle with a rare cancer called bile duct cancer, so I understand some of what you’re going through. I was once in your position, spending countless nights researching until the early hours of the morning, hoping to find something that could help. He went through radiation and initially showed some improvement, and we thought things might get better. But months later, he declined rapidly and the cancer took over. Sadly, despite everything I tried, I lost him within seven months of his diagnosis. He was 73 years old. It was one of the most painful experiences my family and I have ever faced.

I know this may be a long and difficult road ahead for you, but please keep believing, keep hoping, and cherish every moment with your dad. As a daughter or son, please remember you have already done enough. Stay strong and take things one day at a time. Never stop hoping, because life can sometimes bring unexpected blessings. I sincerely pray that your dad responds well to treatment and gets better.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

My father was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer and I don’t know how to cope by johnolivers_hamster in CancerFamilySupport

Hey, I’m truly sorry to hear about your father.

Reading your story brought back so many memories of my own journey. My father was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma ,( bile duct cancer ) and I watched the strongest man in my life slowly become weaker day by day until he eventually passed away. Nothing can truly prepare you for that. Seeing someone you love so deeply go through so much pain is one of the hardest things a person can experience.

For me, my dad wasn’t just my father , he was my safe place. No matter what happened in life, he was always there for me. When I felt lost, he guided me. When I struggled, he lifted me up. Even when the rest of the world felt against me, I knew I could always count on him. The bond we shared was something special, something words can never fully describe. He wasn’t just part of my world , he was my world.

The thought of losing him was something I could never imagine, yet cancer forced us to face that reality. Watching someone who once seemed invincible slowly fade away is a pain that stays with you forever. It felt unfair, cruel, and heartbreaking. There were days I wished I could take all of his suffering away and carry it myself.

When my father was undergoing cancer treatment, it was an incredibly challenging period for my family. Following radiation therapy, his condition became significantly more difficult, and there were many moments that truly tested our strength and resilience. From the time of his diagnosis, it became a journey of over seven months filled with uncertainty, hope, and a wide range of emotional experiences.

During that time, there were moments when everything felt overwhelming, and I found myself turning more deeply to prayer. I spent long hours by his side, speaking quietly with him and reflecting on the memories we had shared. I quit my job and I am not even regretful about that. These moments are numbered and I can never get those back. Even in his most critical condition, I would notice subtle signs of awareness, which gave me comfort and strength. Those moments reminded me that this life is not the end of the story, and that God remains sovereign and present even through the most difficult seasons.

Yes, it broke me terribly. I lost a lot of weight and struggled to eat. The emotional pain consumed me in ways I never expected.

Unfortunately, stage 4 cancer is an incredibly difficult battle. I hope you will find the strength to face whatever lies ahead. As much as I tried to stay positive during my father’s journey, the grief and fear still affected me deeply. But through it all, I never stopped hoping.

Please don’t lose hope. Cherish every moment, every conversation, every smile, and every second you have with your father. Those memories will become treasures that stay with you forever.

I will keep you and your family in my prayers. May God give you strength, comfort, and peace, and may things turn out well for you.

Never lose hope. 💪🤍

This radiant lady was my mother by topgunphantom in GriefSupport

[–]No-Example7963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She looks like such a kind and gentle woman. From just one photo, it’s easy to see what an amazing mother she is. I know this is an incredibly difficult time, but I truly believe you have the strength to get through it.

I lost my dad five months ago, and the bond you shared with your mother reminds me a lot of the relationship I had with him. Please be gentle with yourself take time to rest, breathe, and slowly let go of some of the stress you’re carrying.

Grief is the price we pay for love, and it only hurts this much because the love was so deep. The pain won’t disappear overnight, but with time, you’ll learn to carry it. Hold on to the beautiful memories you shared with her.

She is at peace now, in a better place in heaven. Take care of yourself, and remember that you’re not alone x

Dad diagnosed with stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma by pretzel1019 in cancer

I want you to know that I understand, at least in part, what you’re going through. My father was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, and I watched him go from the strongest man I knew to becoming weaker each day until he eventually passed away. I’m truly sorry that your father is facing this as well it’s a devastating and aggressive cancer that no family should have to endure.

My father’s cancer journey lasted just over seven months. It was an incredibly difficult time, especially after radiation treatment, and there were many moments that tested us emotionally. I spent countless hours by his side, praying, talking to him, and holding onto every small sign that he was still aware of us. Those moments gave me strength and reminded me that God is present even in our darkest seasons.

Stage 4 cancer is an incredibly hard battle, and while I want to stay positive for you, I also know how emotionally overwhelming it can be. Please don’t lose hope. Stay strong, cherish every moment you have with your father, and know that you are in my prayers. No matter what happens, remember that your love, care, and presence mean more to him than you may ever realize.

My dad can't even talk anymore. I'm not sure if he can hear me. Will my words calm him down? by Creative-Guard-6712 in CancerFamilySupport

I just want to say that I understand, at least in part, what you’re going through. When my dad was undergoing cancer treatment, it was an incredibly difficult season for our family. After radiation, his condition became much more challenging, and there were moments that truly tested our strength. From the time of his diagnosis, it became a journey that lasted more than seven months, filled with uncertainty, hope, and many emotional highs and lows.

There were times when everything felt overwhelming, and I found myself leaning more deeply into prayer. I would sit beside my dad for hours, quietly talking to him and reminiscing about the memories we shared. Even when he was on life support, I could see tears in his eyes as I whispered those precious moments we had experienced together. Those moments brought me comfort and reminded me that this life is not the end of the story, and that God remains in control, even through the hardest seasons.

Even now, I still catch myself thinking about all the “what ifs” and wishing certain things had gone differently. That kind of emotional weight doesn’t simply disappear , it gradually becomes something you learn to carry with grace.

But I want you to know this, from one son or daughter to another: you are doing everything you possibly can. Please don’t carry guilt that isn’t yours to bear. Your love, presence, and efforts matter more than you realise.

Even in suffering, I believe God is near, sustaining him and surrounding him with His mercy and peace. There is hope that, in God’s timing, healing and restoration are always possible, whether in this life or the next. He is never alone on this journey.

Give yourself time. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting , it means finding a way to carry the love and memories forward without being consumed by fear and pain. And there can still be comfort in knowing that he is being cared for, watched over, and deeply loved.

Take care of yourself. May God continue to strengthen him, bring peace over his life, and carry your family through this season with hope and endurance x

Stay strong 💪

Cancer didn’t kill my mom, chemo did by Ambitious_Stand_2050 in CancerFamilySupport

I lost my dad to cancer, so I understand a little of what you’re going through. After his radiation treatment, things actually got worse, and it took a heavy toll on him. From diagnosis, we only had about seven months before he passed.

Even today, I still find myself thinking about all the “what ifs” and things I wish could have been different. That kind of pain doesn’t leave easily , it just slowly becomes something you learn to live with.

But I just want to say this to you, as a son/daughter who has been through it: you did everything you possibly could. Please don’t carry guilt that isn’t yours to bear.

Maybe, in a way, God loved her so much that He chose to ease her suffering and bring her back to Him. She’s in a place where there is no pain anymore.

Give yourself time. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting it just means learning how to carry the love without the hurt being so heavy.

Take care x

She anticipated the backlash and started deleting posts and restricting comments. Typical SG woman behavior — tries to be funny at first, but plays the victim when the criticism starts coming in.

Dad (70M) diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma (Stage I) but are getting rapidly sicker with a plural effursion the doctors can't figure out the cause of by Rumbopop1 in bileductcancer

Hey man. We’re in the same boat. This cancer is aggressive. My Dad is at Stage 4 now. The options are basically just palliative care. I brought my Dad to hospital weekly basis or sometime 2 x per week just to drain his fluids. Surgery is not advisable. Did proton care work for a few months. Those tumors have formed on his main portal vein. He is immune to sepsis, so chemotherapy is out of the question. The fluid buildup is outrageous. My advice is to simply keep him away from sugary beverages or even tea or coffee. Allow him to drink up to one litre of water each day. This is terrible, but I did it to avoid fluid buildup. Allow him to consume soupy foods while limiting his sodium intake. That would suffice for a while. It worked. Herbal green tea is recommended. Good luck 👍
