I really didn't think it would happen.

Well, I was the first person he told. I called my dad when I estimated he would be finished in the doctor's office, and I caught him coming out of the hospital. I said, so what did the biopsy results says. He said, "I have prostate cancer." So you may remember a post earlier this week when I told you guys my 51 year old mom had been dealing with Ahlzeimer's (spelling?), I posted late last night about my dad getting biopsy results today. He had the biopsy last week. We didn't expect anything bad. A couple of years ago he had a prostate biopsy, and they said he didn't have cancer. The doctor now says he thinks that other doctor just missed it. We don't know what stage it is. He is having further tests next Tuesday. He is in great spirits. I mean if you know my dad, he is never in anything but a positive mood. My mom is upset of course, but taking it better than I would have thought someone would who is dealing with her disease. So I guess we're just going to take it one day at a time. He has got a lot family and friends who will be praying, and I would ask that those of you who pray would include him in your prayers. My dad's name is Dennis, and he's a wonderful man. Whatever happens, we'll deal with it. But we're going to stay positive, and we're going to do everything we can to keep my dad's spirits okay. He's 55, has a huge family, and no one in his family has ever had cancer of the prostate. You never know. So if anybody out there is needing a mammogram or a colonoscopy, but is putting it off...please find a way to have the test done. There are places who will do the tests for free. It may be hard to find, but just please find a way.
