			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unfortunately it isn&#8217;t good news about Dad. His brain cancer operation, fortunately managed to get the &#8220;bulk&#8221;of the cancer out. However, at dad&#8217;s age and since the operation has left him with degraded motility, he hasn&#8217;t been given long to live.</p>
<p>The Dr&#8217;s have only given his 3 months to live without treatment, and upto 6 months with treatment.</p>
<p>The treatment is an oral &#8220;kemo&#8221; treatment together with radio theropy to his brain.</p>
<p>None of the family are taking this well. It&#8217;s really hard to believe, especially since only a month ago, dad seemed fine.</p>
<p>The cancer is a rather fast acting cancer. Unfortunately it was impossible to remove all the cancerous tissue, and so it is extremely likely that the treatment will only prolong the inevitable.</p>
<p>We as a family ave decided to try the treatment in the hope it works better than expected. I don&#8217;t think any of us expect miracles, however, we do need to live in hope.</p>
