Not the news I wanted

OUT OF HOURS HEALTH AND FAMILY (INTERACTIVE)
1

As one or two of you may remember when I posted about getting stuck in the mud, about 5 or 6 weeks ago, on the same day my dad was rushed into hospital. Well after plenty of poking and prodding and tests, the worst has been confirmed today. Its kidney cancer. Am absolutely devastated about it has is my mum.

He will be going into hospital in the next week or so to have his left kidney removed. Im really worried that he wont survive the surgery, as he is 69 and 20 stone. Until I get home tomorrow I cant read any of the literature that he has been given to explain the procedures.

Its a real blow and at the moment I dont think I have taken it all in, will probably hit me when I see him tomorrow.

Quick update. He got called in to hospital yesterday, to have the surgery this morning. Saw him last night and was in really high spirits, and wasnt scared of the surgery.

Anyway just left him tonight, and hes in brilliantly high spirits, the old bugger! Am completely over the moon as this was my biggest concern, him surviving the surgery. So he is now one kidney lighter and hopefully cancer free. Am convinced he is gonna make it now, so its good news at the minute :smiley:
