well, couple weeks ago my dad foudn out from the doctor he has colon cancer. they said they should just be able to take out the tumor(since it seems to be all containted) and that will be the end of it. i hope so. tomorrow he’s gettin the surgery done and then he’ll have to be in the hospital for a week, then off work for at least 2 they said. im just nervous for him. nothing ever has really happend to my dad, he said this is the first time he’s ever had any surgery too. i duno, im just a little worried/nervous about the whole situation even though the doctors say everything is goin to be fine. ---

Ur old man will prob be more scared because it is his first mojor visit to the surgoen/hospital than of the opporation itself. Hang in there… ---

My dad went through the same thing about 2 years ago. Had a bunch of complications, and still made a full recovery. His biggest dissapointment was that he had to miss Hershey and Fall Carlisle. Nowadays he’s helping my mom through her cancer and lecturing me about going for a colonoscopy (sp?). ---
