Evening Update 5/23/08

Matt and I visited my dad for a few hours today. We left around 330 or 4 today. The doctors were talking about letting him go home tonight. They took the epidural and his catheter out and as long as he could urinate on his own they would let him go.

Well all went well and my dad was out of the hospital by 6pm. He has a follow up visit in about a week. Until then he is going to heal up at home and wait to start chem in a few weeks.

The other news is the surgeon told my dad his cancer is a stage 3 not a stage 4. He also told my dad that out of our 22 lymph nodes he has 5 infected which are all around my dads neck. So he said it was not as bad as it could have been which give us a little more hope.

My dad is ready to fight this colon cancer.
