Bad News

I know that I have been quiet.....Thing have been very hectic. Work is a bear!!!! The kids are in so much now. It is "Walk around the woods and pretend to be deer hunting" season. So, Ron is not around much. Now this!

Last week my Dad went to have prostrate surgery. He was having "troubles" and things seemed to be blocked. So off he goes to have the surgery.

The test came back....my Dad has Cancer!!! The Dr. "thinks" it was caught early enough, but he had the tumor sent down to John Hopkins in Baltimore to see what stage it is in. We sort of thought that this might happen because my Grandfather had prostrate cancer, then it just spread every where. But all of us were hoping that his prostate was just blocked with something else and that is why he had to "Go" all the time.

No matter what, my Dad is having his prostrate removed. But depending on what stage it is in we don't know if he has to have chemo/radiation/ or what else. They can't even remove the prostrate until he has healed from the surgery he just had. My dad feels fine. He would not have known he was sick unless he had the surgery.

I have not told the kids yet. I just don't know what to say. I don't know what to think!! So, how in the world do I tell my kids!!

My Dad will not know anything until 11/28, unless the Doctor call him. We are going to Schenectady for Thanksgiving this year. All I can think of is how is he going through this. And the same for Ma and T? Then I think about my Kids. I just don't know what to think. I just don't know what to do. I just have to go through it one day at a time. But right now it is so, so hard!!

Tomorrow is the Jingle Bell Run 5K. Both Boys are doing the Candy Cane run and are looking forward. Of course, Ma and Dad can't be there so I'm going to take alot of pictures for them. I will try to post some if I can.
