It looks like the cancer is only developed in the tumour and hasn’t spread!!!
Chemo starts the week after next and then probably an op in September.
Thankyou so much for all your kind, thoughtful and amazing comments and emails.
Have said it before and I’ll say it again, this is a pretty special place and I’m proud and overjoyed to be part of it.
One quote about his colleagues from my dad to finish: “did you know that at least two subscribe to your blog!”
Bout time he got himself an RSS aggregator… wouldn’t you say ;)
James:
I missed this original post and have been meaning to comment on one you put up over a week ago.
Glad to hear your dad’s diagnosis is encouraging. My mother had her first lung cancer in 1980 and was cancer free for 16 years. She had a recurrence in 1996 and is still fighting on. My main observation is that cancer is very survivable, and you can have a good quality of life.
At times like this, the main thing is that the family draw together. Good luck.
James,
Prayer works.
hug your dad! work on his aggregator ;->
This is really encouraging news! Makes my day! Will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers!
Good to hear news like this! With luck he’ll be back to good health in no time.
Hey James,
As you know, I was away for a while, so I just read your posts. I just wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. As the Qur’an says, no soul is burdened with more than it can bear, and it sounds like your pa is a pretty strong guy! ;-)
This is great news James, and must be a huge relief to you and the whole family. Tell your dad I found out about this via my aggregator. And that I’m having a beer for him. J.
