Well, the results are in from the doctor and while not good, they are not as bad as they could be (I hope).
Dad had prostate cancer 12 years ago, and had his prostate removed. Well, they've found cancer in the tissue in the prostate area. They also found the beginning stage of bone cancer in one of his ribs. That's the worry.
Dad's PCP sent the test results to an oncologist, and dad will meet with him soon (hopefully tomorrow) to discuss options. I'm a little numb, as I was hoping that it would be less cancer as opposed to more. Dad sounded quite shell shocked as well. I'm hopeful that he can get his positive attitude back in line before treatment starts, as I know a positive attitude will help.
Thanks for your prayers.
