Not the best of Christmas news

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.

Oy. My best wishes to you and your family. A cancer diagnosis is never easy to deal with.

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.
