Doing Cartwheels








-
I am so excited I can't stand it: My Dad's CAT scan came back and it looks like STAGE 1!!!! Possibly stage 2, but NOT stage 3 or 4!!!
-
What does that mean??
-
It means the cancer has not spread and that there will be
NO CHEMO!!!!!!!!
-
He may have to have some radiaton, and he will definitely have to have surgery, so he still has a ways to go before he is cancer-free, but because he caught it so early, there is a
93% survival rate!!!!!
-
I just KNEW my dad would scare that cancer away!!!!!!
-
Now we're praying the surgery will go well and the doctor will get the entire tumor out. And celebrating LIFE and JUMPING UP AND DOWN and SHOUTING FOR JOY and COUNTING OUR BLESSINGS and THANKING OUR MERICFUL FATHER IN HEAVEN!!!!
-
It's not over, but it is sure a GREAT day!

  6. That is great news. I am glad it was caught to early. I also hate cancer. I don't know if you know that I am a cancer nurse. I deal with it every time I come to work. It is an ugly disease. I am so happy that the prognosis is good. Good luck with the surgery. Keep us updated. Steve sends his love also.
