OT- Update on My dad

He came through his surgery fine. He has a 7cm incision on his belly and the doc was able to put his hand in there and feel his liver. I can't even imagine that. Anyway he did it with the scope too and it looked fine so no biopsy there. They took some lymph nodes and we will get the pathology report in about 3 days on those. They also will test his PSA again because when they tested it a few days ago it was elevated. Prostate Cancer runs in the family so that has me a bit worried. I was up to see him today and he looked good, his color was back and he was joking around. My mom was going to stay up there for a bit more tonight. She was up there all morning and then went back up later in the afternoon and was up there all night. She didn't spend the night but came home and then went back up this morning. Thank you for all your prayers and good thoughts sent his way and our way. Jan

Glad to hear that your father made it through surgery fine and that his liver is in good shape. Excellent. My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer a year ago and is just fine. He had a few months of taking oral hormones followed by the implantation of radiological seeds (once the prostate was small enough to do that). Now he just gets his PSA tested regularly - no other treatment. Take care! Kathy
