Update on my dad - good update

My dad had surgery to remove the cancer in his colon and on his adrenal gland - it was successful and no cancer was found in the surrounding tissue. He still has to get treated for his lung tumor - it's small, so chemo is being tried first. But he may need surgery in the future. He feels good which is important. Requesting that everyone keep him in their thoughts - I appreciate the support!

I also went through a similar experience with my Dad, scary times, so I sure can identify. Sending healing thoughts to your Dad and continued support to you...

Fortunately my dad got the spotty kind of cancer where they could concentrate on certain areas. Hope to give more good news

I like hearing the survival stories. They is great about your dad. My dad has to wear one of those bags now after the surgery but I hear people get used to it.
