My father was diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this summer. (Yes, I slipped that news into the beginning of a CCC post because I didn't want to bother anyone with it.) The cancer was captured quite early - in Stage One - so there was cause for optimism.
He had surgery yesterday morning, and it was successful. He'll have a few weeks to recover and regain his strength before he'll have a few rounds of radiation therapy. I think his doctors are very confident he'll make a full recovery.
So if anyone has been wondering why I've been MIA recently, that's why!
Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
Deborah

Thank you, everyone! He's a little goofy from the pain meds, but he seems to be feeling about as one can under the circumstances.
