My dad met with the oncologist yesterday, and he will start chemo and radiation in about 2 weeks. He will have 6-8 weeks of treatment before meeting with the surgeon again. He will go in each Monday and have a chemo drip hooked up to his port that he will wear until Friday. He will get the drip removed on Fridays, so he won't have treatment on the weekends. After his surgery he will be given time to heal before he begins a 6 month round of Chemo.
We are hoping and praying for a complete healing!

I suck at keeping this updated!
A lot has happened since I last blogged. The biggest news is also the worst news!
We found out 2 weeks ago that my dad has stage 3 colon cancer. The cancer has moved through the colon into the surrounding tissue, so he is not a candidate for surgery until he goes through 5 rounds of chemo and radiation. After his treatments he will meet with the surgeon again to see if he can have the surgery. The good news is the cancer isn't in any other organs. The bad news is that what cancer he does have is advanced. We are praying for healing!
