My father, Patrick C. DellaRocco passed away on September 19, 2008 after a long and courageous battle with colon cancer. I watched the pain my father endured throughout the years and was there when he took his final breath. I cannot get the image out of my mind. I miss my father terribly and am having a difficult time dealing with his death.
I am so sorry to hear your father passed away. I am going through colon cancer treatments and my father has just been diagnosed with lung cancer, so I really do know how you must be feeling as a daughter! I am very close to my parents and my dad has been a huge factor in my own recovery as a primary caregiver...I do not know how my mother and I are going to deal with now being my dad's caregiver as we move forward, my heart really goes out to you and my mom! thanks for requesting your friendship!

Hi Donna - just checking in to see how you are doing. I'm so sorry you lost your dad. I hope in his honor, you have gotten screened so he knows you will never get colon cancer. I know there are no words to provide comfort, but I hope you know that by telling his story, you will save lives. Let me know if I can help you in any way. fondly, jeannie moore, patient support 877-422-2030
