What is a blog?

A blog is a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences. You can post a new blog entry using your "My stuff" box on the right side of this page. The list of latest blog entries can be found here. For general discussions please use our forums.

My father has pancreatic cancer, he is in pain, emotional and I feel completely lost as to what is going to happen to him. He thinks that he just has to accept what has happened and is happening and more or less just allow the cancer to take over. Of course I don't want him to do this but how do you tell someone who finds everyday a painful experience, that he must not give up?
