Oh, Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad's dx. Glad, though, that they caught it and will be able to treat him. You're all in my prayers.......sometimes it just seems like everything happens at once.

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

Sarah, I'm keeping you and your Dad in my prayers. Think positive.....they caught it and can do something about it. He'll do fine. You and your Mom travel safely and be sure to take care of yourselves, too. Once he's back home he's probably going to pay you back for calling him today while he was on his liquid diet and asking him if he was hungry!!

Sarah, I just read this thread. I have said a prayer for your daddy, and for you and the rest of the family. It is a lot to deal with... especially coming so soon after your sister.
My husband is a colorectal cancer survivor. It's been just over two years since his emergency surgery. The Lord truly intervened. The surgeon didn't think it was possible that it hadn't spread because it was such a large mass. But it was truly a miracle. And it was due to the power of prayer! God does still perform miracles sometimes. And sometimes he uses the illness to bring others closer to him. With my husband he did both. Bless you and I will keep checking this thread and praying! Love and hugs!

I'm a survivor too Sarah!
I hope and pray that all goes well, and that his results following the surgery are all good. Please drive carefully Sarah. I know how easily it could be to become distacted on a long drive when you have something like this on your mind.

Oh, Sarah! You have been going through a lot. Cancer is always frightening because we never know the outcome of it. The best anyone can do is to go for the tests and then hope and pray for the best outcome. So we pray that surgery will remove it and that it will go away.
I will pray for your dad and for you. May you find peace in the prayers that so many are saying . May you rest tonight and sleep peacefully. |

twinkle and all thank you..
his surgery went well, they removed what they had to, but also the cancer had reached a few lymph nodes, so he will be doing chemo soon. Hope for the best, and pray we are strong if worse. hugss and thanks all, sarah (twinkle I am doing pretty good, although body is not, had to cancel travelling downstate to the gymnastics meet that was held today in my sisters honor. It was also raising money for cancer center in her area. It was a 8 hour drive, and once my mom wasnt going with me, although I have drove that far a many of times alone with kids. My right leg is acting up the past two weeks...if driving more than 20min it gets numb/tingling and like sciatica... so had to cancel my trip) I did however meet a new neuro, and one that took hour on more going over my sxs with me..yeahhhh a keeper.
