Quick Update

Just a quick update on Dad. He has an appointment with the oncologist at the Mayo Hospital in Phoenix on January 22 and will be having a radical prostectemy on February 9. After a period of grieving and research, plus talking to people who kinda blew it off, I've discovered that Prostate Cancer is very very very common in older men and if it hasn't gone into the bone we're pretty good. So far what I've found for survival rate is: 5 year 100%, 10 year 90%, and 15 year 85%. We're good. I'll update again after we have results from the surgery.

Thanks again to everyone for all of your prayers and support.
