I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my wife to cancer two years ago.

Obviously it didn't work out as we wanted, but she had real hope and prospects. A decade ago, her diagnosis was a guaranteed death sentence. It a nasty business, but at some level, oncology is a field where we stand on the shoulders of those before us. The hope that these tragedies we experience will help future victims brings some comfort personally.

I'm very sorry to hear this, and I hope with time you're surrounded by many good memories of better times with your father.

I lost one parent to cancer but the other has been cancer free for over ten years now. I'm devastated by the lose of one parent but incredibly grateful for the one who beat their cancer.

Is that winning? I dont know. But the likelihood that my other parent would still be around if they got their same cancer now is already higher than it was when they passed. Nothing can bring my other parent back but we can prevent others from losing their loved ones.

I'm sad to read this, as my father too is not in the best possible situation currently, cause of cancer. Wish you feel better soon and keep fond memories of him.

Here's to your dad, may he rest easy and be remembered well.

I’m sorry for your loss, stranger.

I lost my father to cancer last year as well - the medical system failed him, his pain treated as exaggerated and his symptoms ignored until it was far too late.

There’s no win for our dads, but I hope the progress prevents future people like them from facing what they did.

winning isn't won. i'm sorry for your loss.
