Thanks Wonka, Barb and Adinva. I talked to my Dad today. He is amazingly in very good spirits. He is meeting with the oncologist sometime tomorrow to see exactly what he is up against. Hoping to get released from the hospital by Wednesday. He told me that since both his parents died in their early sixties, he never expected to make it to 70 so he figures the last 6 years have been nothing but gravy. I'm making plans now to get down there in the next few weeks for a visit.
