    Haven't had too many dealings with you, but last order was definitely pleasant.

    My prayers are with your father and with you and your family.

    Default John's Dad at top of my Prayer List

    John,

    Being in the medical field I can feel exactly what your frustration is.

    Your Dad does not need to be doing anything but concentrating on getting better. He is very lucky to have a son like you to take care of his affairs.

    Wish him well for all of us, and may God grant you unlimited patience in dealing with all the hurdles you must cross.

    Best of fortune to your dad after his bad luck.

    They say family accompanyment (? just being there ) is as important as the medical technology.

    I'd like to thank you all for your concern and sympathy. I don't want to say too much here and burden with details, but I just thought I would give an update. My Dad is now undergoing Chemo and radiation. He is in relatively good spirits. He knows that statistically speaking the end is relatively near. Much too early as he just turned 60, but he has come to terms with it.

    This is a great Community and the support has been overwhelming. It has also been particularly helpful to have Mdrag who is a Radiation Oncologist to turn to for simple, to the point answers without any dancing around.

    My goal at present is to finish the "cabin" and figure out some sort of "facilities" so he can spend as much time there as he wants.
