Update

Thank you all for your comments. I will tell him of all the people that are praying for him. I know it helps him to feel strong and I believe that the prayers will aid in his recovery. I should fairwarn everyone, I post plenty of updates, when it comes to things like my Dads condition. I am a person who find comfort in talking about things to others and this is one of those things. I think I told about 10 people at church tonight, including the Bishop.

OK, now for the update…

My Dad has an apointment tomorrow, for all the tests that are needed for the surgery.
Tuesday he will undergo the operation if all is well.

My dad is still incredibly positive, and looking forward to the next year. I am pleased that he still has the fighting spirit. He has taken great care of himself the last 20 years or so. He gave up smoking and doesnt drink, he loves to ride his bike and go skiing. He goes for walks almost daily and is in great physical shape, asside from the cancer.

I don’t know what if anything that they will be able to do in a year, or whether that will be an option. For now, I am praying. I will be fasting and praying this Sunday for my father, which is something that I believe will help. I will post more news as it happens.

Talking about it helps you deal with it and accept it! So talk away!

I’m not sure your father’s good health, aside from the cancer that is, will have an ultimate affect on the long term outlook. BUT … it should help keep him feeling fairly well and allow him to be active for longer than he would be if he wasn’t in good health.

And who knows …. maybe a miracle will happen. There IS always hope … and prayer can move mountains!

But mostly jusr remember I am here for you and if you ever just need to talk to someone that isn’t a family member ….email and I’ll send you my phone number!

Thank you. He is positive and that is the great news. Surgery is on Tuesday, and they will keep him in the hospital for the rest of the week. I should know soon. I am grateful for your prayers and comments
