These pictures brought back so much emotion. Yesterday was one year ago I lost my brother to cancer. I recently posted pics. What these people suffer is unimaginable. I am so sorry for your loss.

oh wow, god i am so sorry for you're loss but thank you for sharing these.
i always feel like people censor the way cancer ravages you're body but sometimes the cold hard reality is needed.

I for one find it in very POOR taste to show a man of all things your own father in the worst of his times. How very SAD, appalling & disgusting that you would want your family or friends or others to see this man degraded any further then cancer has already taken him .To honor his life would of been to show the best of what that man was, NOT what he looked like at his worst .If the tables were turned how would you feel knowing the world has seen you at the worst, taking away the last of your dignity in life or death. People will now be focusing only on the face that you have shown serving NO purpose what so ever. Plus it is considered an invasion of privacy in ANY hospital in the USA to take pictures of a patient, even if they give consent because of medications that might interfere rational thinking. To you your family & friends I'm sorry that cancer took another wonderful person of this earth. Blessings to all

2 eyes wide open - This site is "Documenting Reality"... That is exactly what she, and indirectly her parents, are doing. If you cannot handle that she's sharing what her father went through then go look at something else, though on this site you will find more of the exact same thing, pictures of real moments happening to real people being shared here in order to view these things that are rarely documented elsewhere.
As far as "invasion of privacy" goes, it is NOT considered invading someone's privacy to take a family member's picture in a hospital, or anyone's picture, especially when given consent. There are privacy laws, called HIPAA, designed to protect a patient's health information from being shared without said patient's consent. This doesn't fall under that act whatsoever.
I, for one, find it in very poor taste to berate this person for lovingly sharing her father's story and pictures in this forum which exists for this exact purpose! Not only is it acceptable for her to post all of this (through this post and a prior post) but she also had both parents blessings to so.

Lyndsay - I would like to thank you for having the courage, and taking the time, to tell us your father's story about his, and your family's, battle with his cancer. Thank you for sharing an unadulterated look at what cancer can look like. As I said above, you've given us a look at cancer that we, as the general public, don't get to see. I appreciate the strength and resolve it takes to share something so personally devastating as losing a parent in such an awful way. Bless you, your family and your father.

Omg so sorry
That pic with both of you, he honestly looks completely happy to be sitting right next to you. I am in tears.

The will to live is very strong in very few. Unless I get stuck, i'm taking an easier way out than that. God Bless that man for endearing so much for his beloved family !

[goddessinsecta]

I see great courage and great love in the pictures. That is what shines through and outweighs the suffering. My heart goes out to you and your family and all who loved him.

My heart goes out to you; takes a lot to share those photos of someone you love. I lost my Dad to cancer in 2012; devastating disease in every way.

Horrible fucking disease. Cancer is a total bastard. I am really sorry for your loss mate. Thanks for sharing with everyone. Hope your Daddy is at peace now <3
