Prayers for my Daddy

We recently found out that my dad has cancer in his left kidney which has sent a seed to his hip and developed into a tumor in his hip. He discovered this only because he fell in Florida in March and hurt his hip, after it didn't seem to heal or get better he went to the dr. On Friday dad will have surgery to remove the infected kidney. Then he will probably do some radiation to shrink the tumor in his hip before having it removed. The doctors and Dad seem to be positive that this is curable and all will be okay. In the meantime the rest of us worry and pray that everything will indeed be okay. Please pray that Dad's surgery goes well on Friday and that the rest of his treatment is safe and easy! It's hard to see my dad in so much pain... even though he is remaining strong and positive. It's going to be a long summer for us but if dad is positive, we all have to be!

Oh, I will definitely add your dad to my prayer list. I remember him always making us all laugh at Drama club events. Funny how a fall seems like a bad thing, but it turns out to have perhaps been a blessing in disguise!
