| Update on my dad... Well he has been home for a week now...Doing much much better...He has been eating!! Horray!! He went from 250 lbs to 140lbs in one year from the cancer..So we are trying to fatten him up!! Next steps for him are treatment for the small cancer cells that are on his lungs The dr's are very hopefull he will beat this...Since the cancer started on his kidney and not on his lungs hes got a better chance to nip in in the bud now! My cousin, who is a pathologist @ NYU, got a chance to see the tumor and kidney that were removed...The cancer tumor weighed 6lbs and was the size of a mango...Thank god they removed it!! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers again! You are all wonderful people!! I have attached pics of his incision...It is not gross at all...He just had the staples removed on Tuesday...

| I knew our prayers would be heard. Thank God he's doing better and getting back to himself. It's really hard when parents go through this because then it's like you're the parent taking care of them. It's hard. I know. My dad had 2 heartattacks in 1 day after being super healthy (or so we thought). I'm really happy to hear he is back home and getting fattened up..hehe

| That is so great that he is progressing well and eating. He will feel better sooner if he can eat well. That is one long incision. Ouch! My prayers go to him that they can kill those nasty little cells and he will be with you for many, many more years of happiness!

| Ow-Those pictures make my stomach hurt! I'm so happy that your father is doing well. Wow- a 6 lb. tumor?! That's huge. Thankfully he was treated in a wonderful hospital and has a wonderful family to nurse him back to health. I'll continue to pray for your father's recovery. |
