My Dad is going through chemo...
He had surgery to remove a cancerous growth in his intestine.

He's 76 years old, so this is especially hard on him.

I joked with him if he wants to get rid of the nausea he's experiencing, just smoke some weed.
He laughed and said "NO WAY." :-)

1. All the best to your dad, Archae.
My dad died from cancer in the late 70's. His chemo was pretty rough on him, so I tried to talk him into trying some weed, to see if it would help the nausea. He also said, "NO WAY."

4. We hope so too.
We like joking how he's too ornery to let cancer get to him. :-)

And thanks.

10. My thanks to all of you.
We like to joke around that Dad will live forever, since the day the Grim Reaper shows up, my ornery dad will holler at him and kick the Reaper's ass. :-)
