New Information On My Dad...

My Daddy on Christmas Eve 2011

















Hey All,

Just a real quick post to update you on my family.  I promise, I am in the process of writing a new post about ME, but I wanted to get this out so that it didn't get lost in my extra long post to come!!  LOL

My Brother had his Leg/Foot Amputated from about 6 inches below the Knee on Monday, and did so well, that he got to go home on Tuesday.  Where I am sure that he will recover much easier than in a Hospital with constant noise, etc....we all know that one for sure.  At least if you had to stay in the Hospital!!

My Dad had his Hip Biopsy and it was determined that he has Bone Cancer, but in his words, "the Doctor says that it is the good kind"....duh!  What kind of Cancer is a good kind???  He said that according to the Doctor, he would have at least 5 years to live.

He went in for a full Body MRI yesterday, and a full Body CT Scan today with Contrast.  They discovered a "spot" or "something" in/on at least one of the Lungs.  So the Doctor is scheduling my Dad for a Biopsy of the Lung next.  We figure that the Doctor is just trying to figure out how far the Cancer has spread.  So your good thoughts and prayers are needed.

Aloha My Friends  :(

Oh Debi, I really feel for you. I hope your brother recovers quickly and that your Dad is right and that his diagnosis gives you as much time together as possible.

You're in my thoughts and prayers.
