  • in reply to: Help! Second opinion for 87 year old dad? #36646

    Hi
    Thank you all for your responses. We are in the process of securing a visit to DANA Farber for a 2nd opinion. WENDY, my father is a retired Navy Captain but never saw active duty.
    Your comment about your Dad being diagnosed at 88 and living to 92 gives me hope! That’s amazing! How normal a life did he have? If you were to meet my father you would have no idea he was sick. He looks great, mind is sharp as a tack, and continues to be so engaged and engaging….but it all becomes evident when he has to walk somewhere.. He moves quite slowly now and tires so easily. Did your Dad have a decent quality of life for the 4 years he was being treated? Thank you for your feedback.
