So I started this thread on my350z when I found out my father was diagnosed with cancer. I just Needed another place to sort of vent and just get support. I'm very proud of him, he is constantly in pain but doesn't want to show it and he was in the Vietnam war.

My father has had multiple sclerosis since he was my age, about 27 or so. He always walked with a cane until about 3 years ago he became wheel chair bound. He has a multitude of health issues including last stages of COPD and now developed a cataract. He just recently was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer has started chemo and radiation. I'm just a wreck because it is all I think about. I help him but work 40 hours a week or more.

I want to help him enjoy his life more, but unsure how, I took him to the zoo the other week and he loved it. I will take him to a baseball game this season too. It's hard because he used a catheter and can't walk.

What else can I do with him to build memories and give him happiness?
