My Daddy Update- ETA: Good news
As you might remember, about a month ago my dad was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer and luckily it was at it's earliest stages. (My parents live in Tx) I had already planned a trip to Texas because of my shower and a wedding which I was MOH in.
While I was there, we were able to talk to doctors about treatments and my daddy has done so much research that for him he chose the radical surgery (nerve sparing procedure). I was hoping that they would do the surgery while I was visiting, but as it turned out the earliest appointment was for October 7. I'm so sad that I can't be there for my daddy.
Well, this morning they informed my dad that they had a cancellation and will be doing his surgery tomorrow morning!! I have faith that all will turn out okay. I'm just nervous and I can't stand that I can't be there by his side to comfort him. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and I am asking that you continue to keep my dad in your prayers before you go to bed tonight. I know through the power of prayer and faith that my daddy will be okay.
Thanks again, Girls! I hope to meet all of you at any of our Future GTG so that I can thank you in person!! ( unfortunately, I can't make the Jillians. Sorry) Goodnight all!
ETA: I want to thank all of you for your kind words and keeping us in your prayers! You are the Best! I am very Grateful to all you! Your support has meant so much to me! My dad's surgery was very successful!!!![]()
They didn't have to touch his lymph nodes and as procedure the pathologist will run test on his blood to make sure it didn't spread. But, overall everything went smooth! I know that this surgical procedure is done frequently but when they have to cut someone open ...I worry about complications. So I am now relieved that hopefully the worst is over with! My dad will be in the hospital for a couple of days. Thanks, again Girls!
