I am so deeply sorry to hear this ... we know there's several kinds of cancer and I'll continue to pray that it will be taken care of and he'll regain his strength soon. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y28...HT5FRoses5.jpg

My brother in law is a Dr. who specializes in this and he says that 7 out 10 times it is caught early enough if the person has regular exams. That is every few years after 40. I will keep you and your family in my prayers and keep your head high. Our higher power has ways of sending us messages and this just may be an one of them... Best of luck...

Dads surgery was on Wed; that went fine, but everything afterwards has been rough. He wasnt waking up well at all, and hes been terribly dehydrated. Also the oxygen levels in his blood are very low. He has been in ICU this whole time. Today tho, they were finally able to take out the breathing tube, and my brother showed up to surprise dad (he had just flown in from Iraq, on leave for 15 days), that really cheered him up, his face lit up and he smiled as big as he could. This has been so hard, especially since hubby is on the road, but luckily will be home tomorrow and we'll go see dad (then I wont have to drive; I am a country girl and the city driving makes me crazy).

I'm glad to hear the surgery went well. Comming out from being under is different for everyone and is no reflection on his over-all health. I wouldn't sweat that too much.

I really admire you, as you have stood strong during a very bad time. People like you are what made this country what it is today. You were faced with a challenge, you met it head on, and you did what you had to do. Sometimes you ladies at home are the REAL un-sung heros.

Please for me; shake your fathers hand and thank him for all he has done and do the same to your brother, for all he is doing. Let them both know that they will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear about all this, Shyykatt.... but, things will be okay! I have a friend who's been living with colon cancer for many years now! You just have to stay on top of it! How old is he?

He'll be 85 in a couple weeks. They tried to put him in a nursing home, but he'll have nothing to do w/that. Hes home now, and a nurse comes a couple times a week. Hes getting better, the only real problem now is his blood- iron and electrolytes are still very low. Im taking him back to Mpls. on Wed. to get his staples removed.

SK, you and your family are in my prayers. :wink:
