Update on cancer dad

[filthiestfis]

For those who remember, 3 months ago I posted the news that my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer. Yesterday the doctor told him that he has made excellent progress and they are looking to operate on him soon and he should make a recovery from it. Since his chemo begun in september he has not felt any bad side effects and has gained the weight that he had lost.
Lets hope that his recovery continues to go well and thank you to everyone who left positive comments for me at such a difficult time.

Great news best Christmas gift you could wish for, my dad had a very bad heart and was down for a pacemaker but after 3 years on medication his heart has repaired and he no longer needs a pacemaker and can go back to work but take things easy. I wish you both all the best x

Thank you all for your wonderful messages although I dont want to jinx it as he has to go through the operation and be given the all clear if that is indeed the case. At least it is good news for christmas :-)

My thoughts are with you. One of my colleagues was diagnosed with colon cancer this time last year and following chemo and surgery he's going great - he's back at work now and back to his usual wonderfully sarcastic self ;) ! Take care, and thanks for letting us know how your dad's getting on x
