Honestly, I would have preferred to live the rest of my days on earth without any intimate knowledge about cancer. But with pancreas cancer being the 4th most common cancer in men in the U.S., chances are good that if it wasn’t a possibility now with my dad, it would be later with one of the other amazing men in my life. Thankfully, the tumor on the tail of my dad’s pancreas was found early on, and it doesn’t appear to have spread anywhere else. Thank God! He's scheduled for surgery on January 24, and my dad is in incredible shape which should help with recovery. If anyone can get through something like this, it's him. I'm incredibly thankful for the faith that he has exhibited throughout his life, which is now at the center of my own life. What a blessing to know that we're not alone in any of this. Thanks Dad ~ I'm looking forward to enjoying many more scoops of ice cream with you!!!
Any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad.
Praying for your "Dad" Laura, praying that he has a speedy recovery and thank God they caught it in time.
