Its hard to get him to eat because he's either too sick or too tired.

One of my friends on another game was going through the chemo treatment for her ailments. She said it was hard, but I hope for both her, and your father that when the cells are being killed they are actually not making things worse, but better.
I saw a news program about a college student, and his professor coming close to a "cure" for cancers.
They say early detection is what can help cure people.
Since when it is detected early then they can treat it quicker.

I wouldn't know what to suggest that might help his stomach feel better from the nasuea since it is hard to say due to the fact of the way he is being treated.
If it was something like acid reflux I would suggest prilosect. I don't want to suggest something that maybe harmful though. I am unfamiliar with what is compatible with cancer patients.

I remember gaia when I joined at the end of 2005. It was pretty cool. The layout was still good, but I was a chatterbox spammer. >_>;
Then as time went by, gaia just sunk lower and lower and now I can't stand being on there for more than 5 minutes

I dunnooo.. it's hard to say.. but another thing I remember is that their games sucked back then. XP

Yeah, I swear I'm gonna get an anxiety attack from constantly wondering when the next round is and worrying that I might miss it.. D:

Yeah I've heard various stuff about Piitown . . .

Anyone want to fill me in on what that was? I mean a lot of my friends seemed to be there at one point but I never even saw it.

@xelao- I have a gaia account but I don't go on it as much as I use to and even when I go on it I dont stay on for more than ten minutes.

@ Arikana - Oh my
Try not to stress too much.

Yeah there's a whole list of meds he can't take and ones they put him on to counteract the bad reactions of it all, and then there's even foods he can't have either!!

It drives a body insane when you're trying to go shopping for him and all so he doesn't have to leave the house once he's home.

Well then let's hope the next ornament round is posted soon.. XP

Hello everyone!

hi there hime, how are you today?

I'm good, just tired.
Heading to bed soon; how are you?

Hiya Hime. :)
How are you doing tonight? ^_^

I'm sticking around to try and get cooking stuff, but doing okay, my headache I've been suffering with has gone pretty much.

So yeah, doing better today for sure.

I was kind of there when it all happened, but basically,
Pii-Chan was just a lazy admin or something. At one point, she even had a "MY PM BOX IS NOT A QUESTIONS FORUM. DO NOT PM ME" or something like that.
Then her sister was a moderator on that site, but she was barely on (or I never saw her)

So this all has something to do with the artists and coders not getting paid enough, so they boycott or something and Pii-chan fires them, and soon, she steals all the money from Pii-Town and yeah. Tons of crazy shit happened and I still don't really know what happened but that's some of it.

I wish you luck then, Arikana.

@Selphiebishop: My dad had cancer. . . Had to go through kemo/chemo too. He was lucky, the cancer wasn't bad and the chemo wasn't the roughest prescription out there. Thing of it was, he had bad days too. Says he only got through it because 1) he could adapt better than most, 2) he didn't lose his sense of humor. He even cracked up the nurses and other patients when he was getting treatment.

It sounds like you're living through hell. Anything I could suggest you most likely already know and have tried. I would tell you to hang on, but really it's your dad who has to keep his faith/convictions up.

I will give you my sympathy, my condolences, and keep you & your family in my prayers. It can get better. Focus on it getting better. Do NOT let yourself think otherwise or it can eat away at you.

And most importantly, come here and vent. You're anonymous here. You can scream and rant and cry, and we can't judge you. You will get people like me who will know what you've been through--have been through it themselves. You will get people who don't know what it's like. But you will get emotional support. You'll get encouragement for yourself and your family.

The best advice I can give is to take time to relax, and not to stress, though it is easier said then done selphie.
I am actually on a weird diet myself, since I do have acid reflux, and the doctors are concerned I might have diabetes, and then I do have a form of cancer, but I just got insurance so I am working on my treatment plan with them. I don't know , and don't think I could be as strong as people like your dad, and my friend.
I don't think my body could handle chemo.
I am already super tiny.

My boyfriend cooked some nice stuff today for me xD<3

Aww thanks guys!! Yeah I often vent and all online. XD I even have a blog and all, where I update how dad is doing and all. I need to do it for this week yet, but you know, I keep it pretty up to date really.

I'm glad people understand, sometimes it feels like you are the only one that has this problem, then other people chat with you and it's totally awesome to know you're not alone!

aw hime ur boyfriend seems sweet

Oh what did he cook for you?

Mine likes to make chinese food and Indian Curry stuff. :D

He is! <3

He cooked a turkey with cheese sauce and patatoes, and tiramisu for dessert :drool:

Oh you are so lucky!!

That sounds really fantastic. In about 15 minutes I have to go and make Sheperd's Pie. Mine is like everyone's favorite, I dunno why, I don't really do anything special to it, but they love mine the best.

I am so jealous I haven't seen my boy friend for almost an entire year, and the most romantic thing he tried to do for me was cooked me a candle light hotdog lunch. xD

xD Bah I don't know how to cook. I wish I did though

Well, it's the thought that counts. Hotdog with candle light would have been good for me too c:
