My Dad Update

I thought I should give a quick update on my dad, since some have been wondering. He had his surgery on Thursday and it went really well. Apparently the tumor was contained, so it hadn't spread anywhere else, as far as they know. They give tumors grades I guess (this is different from stages) and his was a grade 4, which means that the cells were pretty aggressive and he is at a higher risk for it occuring again. Though he could very well never have them pop up again. They will scan him very closely, every 3 months for the next year. Otherwise, he doesn't need any further cancer treatment like chemo or radiation, so really the news was pretty good considering. He came home on Sunday and has been getting better each day. We saw him last night and he was moving around a lot better and was looking really good. He goes back in to the doctor on Thursday. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers!! You can keep them coming in hopes that this stays away for good!!
