Title: Prayers needed for my dad
Post by: slagmaker on January 12, 2009, 10:21:48 PM
OK the first of this years hasnt started out so well for the slagmaker clan. We found out that my dad has prostate cancer. We go Tomorrow, Tuesday for tests to find out how bad and to what extent. The doctor said if its good news it will be great and his cancer will be curable. If its bad news it has gone into his blood and there will be basically nothing they can do for him. So I am asking for prayers that we get good news when all the test results come back. We wont get those back for a week.

My dad was and still is one of my greatest heroes and I am worried about him.

Well my dad got all his test results back yesterday. .

Good news. The cancer is localized and has not spread. He will be doing some radiation treatments for several weeks but right now the outlook is good. theres an 80% cure rate with the treatment they are proposing so that is on our side.

Things are looking better but he's not totally out of the woods yet
