Interesting thing we found out he was exposed to agent orange in Vietnam which makes sense and of course the drinking and smoking on top doesn't help but that stuff is awful it has damaged his other organs like liver and such. We found out through veterans because of course he has never mentioned once abt Vietnam war and they said he has severe PTSD from it and the guy said its one of the worst ailment someone could have he has seen the strongest of men cry like babies and the strongest of men weak. Makes so much sense explains his behavior all these years. :(

Tiffany - I'm sorry you guys are going through this now.  It has to be so difficult to watch slowly as someone's life comes to an end.

your family will be in my prayers.  {hugs}

 My dad's esophageal cancer was considered to be caused by exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam too - he wasn't a drinker or a smoker.  It's so tragic.

I'm sorry you're going though this. My Grandpa died of lung cancer, and was at my uncle's with the help of hospice, which was a God send. My prayers are with your family.
