My dad died of colon cancer just before his 88th birthday. He was unable to take all the chemo treatments they said would cure him bc the chemo treatments were killing him.

I believe without cancer he would have lived at least into his nineties as his mother and grandmother brother and uncle had. I know it wasn’t that much longer but we kids would all have enjoyed having him around so much longer.

The only consolation is he didn’t live to see his eldest daughter go through her own private hell in an ICU from getting one chemo treatment. She spent months in there getting written off by every doctor that saw her.

It blew out the tumor in her stomach in one day allowing her gastric juices into her abdominal cavity. Then they had to do surgery to close it up and she had so much bleeding they couldn’t stop it almost killing her. Then the chemo didnt allow her to heal. She had blood fluids pouring out of every opening. Even the ventilator fell out of her. She had a second surgery completed bc none of her stitches held up. Finally they wrote her off bc she couldn’t wake up from her coma and they said she’d have some possible brain damage. Miraculously, she woke and her brain was fine. All but the grace of God she survived and was healed back to normal. Miraculously saved by all the prayer chains.
