dad is okay

So my dad had surgery today to remove a kidney, part of his bladder, and some other stuff. His cancer was contained and he is going to be okay.


And he's planning on coming out to Colorado to go hiking with me this summer. Rock on dad.

some sad news about my dad

Well, I'll just share the email my mom sent...

"On Friday, my husband Bob was diagnosed with cancer.  Fortunately, even though it was diagnosed as "aggressive", the Doctor believes that it is fully curable by surgery.  On this coming Thursday, May 26, he will be operated on.  His right Kidney, urethra (sp?) and a piece of his bladder where the urethra is connected will be removed.  The doctor is very optimistic for his full recovery, but needless to say, this is going to be a big trauma for Bob to get through."

Hoping for the best for my dad...today he went for a 40 mile bike ride, and yesterday he did the Indian Staircase in Red River Gorge. So I think he's ready for what ever cancer is going to throw at him, and he's still doing what he loves...
