Dear Amer,
I was very moved to see your email. My mother is suffering from cancer too and as an only child also I know exactly what you are going through.
Its hard to stay positive sometimes but my Amma has been suffering for 4 years and although it is a terrible disease, Baba has kept her alive this long and the doctors have found ways to keep her living longer the doctors are amazed she is still here! I also believe that miracles will happen for your father, and Baba will not let go. Things will seem really bad sometimes and will appear like there is no hope but it is only then that miracles occurs.
This website and all the readers prayers have been a tower of strength for me and I hope it is for you too.
I will be saying a prayer for your family too from now on
Take care
Shalini
