Cancer Sucks Rest In Peace Jerome Forgays

Unfortunately my father has passed away today October 16th. He has lost his battle to Pancreatic cancer. Anything donation will be very great much appreciated. He will truly be missed. 

My father Jerome was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer last month. Unfortunately, it is stage four. For the past month, I have seen this cancer slowly take my father away. Before the diagnosis of cancer the hospital diagnosed him with Pancreatitis, left it at that. Thought he was getting treated for that. He would have bouts of feeling better, but it went back down hill. He was getting weaker, he would be sleeping more, he would be in more pain than before and he started to turn jaundice. He went back into the hospital and that's when he got the diagnosis of cancer. A few days later, the cancer has spread to his liver. His liver is so bad, they cannot do chemotherapy. It would do more damage than good, especially of the state he is in right now. He was going to come back home with us, but sadly he is in such bad shape and in so much pain, he doesn't want to do this anymore. He has decided to do hospice.

I'm having to choose between the time I have left with my father and miss work and won't be able to pay my bills. My work said I can take time off, but I will not get paid for it unfortunately. Or I miss the time left I have with my dad and go to work. I'm stuck in a situation I do not want to regret not seeing my dad. The thought of losing my best friend is getting to me.

I'm trying to stay strong for my family at home and my two year old that doesn't have a clue about Papa that she loves dearly. 

My dad's wishes is to be cremated. I want give him a decent celebration of life. Any donation towards his cremation and/or towards any time that I miss off work would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who has came and seen him and has prayed for him. This is such a hard time for our family. Cancer sucks. I will miss you old man.
