update,

my dad has surgery this coming Tuesday to remove a part of colon and that cancer spot. They will check the lymph nodes too. He did have a CAT scan of chest and abdomen and was clear other areas so far.

So, I will be heading hour away with my parents to be there with my mom, and stay with her till evening visiting hours done. then travel home with her.

I took Tuesday off so I could do that, then off my usual Wed and Thurs. which is good, I dont think any complications would occur with his surgery. He is pretty darn healthy condition for age 76, but nice to know days off following, in case anything occurs, or also just to have time to travel up and down to see him while he is in hte hospital.

Thanks all for all the prayers and support, it was very helpful when my sister was fighting cancer, and when she passed away just this past October in the loss from cancer. So thanks in advance again, this is such a great group here, hugssss,sarah
