Not the best of Christmas news

[tikatu]

My dad called today to tell me that he's tested positive for prostate cancer. They haven't looked at the options yet, so he's not sure how they're going to treat it, but the doctor seemed confident that they could get it all.

I hope so.

My prayers are with you. It's a difficult thing to think about, but if they caught it early enough it's completely curable. We just went through that with my brother. Surgery got it all. No chemo or radiation was needed. Just annual check-ups. So I'll pray for your dad to be that lucky.

Thanks, grumpy. I'm hoping that they did catch it early enough and that surgery (if that's the way they go) will catch it all.
