Oh Shootingstar, I'm so sorry to hear about the news of your father. You know, for many patients attitude plays a big role in the challenges and recovery of cancer. For patients it's important to never lose hope. Ask for comfort measures when it becomes challenging. Surround yourself with positive, upbeat people who will work together as Team Shootingstar. Take turns tending to the needs of family and the patient. And of course a nice, gentle ride will help clear the mind and lift the spirit.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
