My Fathers Cancer Surgery/Latest Update for All My Friends
NTD:
Glad he made it through Mike. I will keep praying for him. I know what you mean about being a fighter, and I guess it runs in my family too(i.e. Mackenzie). My father had his 5th heart attack 6 years ago...they told all the family to come see him because he wasn't leaving the hospital alive... well a week later he walked out on his own and 6 years later was able to see my daughter born. Point being, there is something to be said for being stubborn. I hope he makes the transition well to living a little differently.

good luck to your father

His Prostate Cancer was 5 years ago....not a Few Months.... Diagnosed with Bladder Cancer last Spring...They went in and removed all of the Tumors that They could...then treated Him with BCG Bladder Cancer Treatment....that didn't work....so they started Him on Chemo and decided that the Bladder had to be removed and He had no other alternatives due to the Damage done from the Radiation.
