the results are in

well, today we got the news. The doctor said they got all the cancer from the colon and bladder, but the bad news is that they did find some cancer cells in the lymph nodes. This means that as soon as he is healed, he will have to be starting chemo. He is healing well, they gave him his first actual food today (since sunday all he had been allowed was ice cubes). He's been up and walking around a bit, and the doctor says that he may be able to go home tomorrow. We're all thankful that he is recovering soo quickly. Though it is sad that he will have to have the chemo, I know that there is a reason for this, and trust God in everything that is going on. Thank you all for your continued prayers for all of us.

Mmmmm, that chemo is so harsh on people's bodies- not just harsh on cancer! I hope he's 100% healed before starting that- I guess it really takes all energy out of a person. My mother-in-law recently got her "5 years all-clear" after a bout of cancer- she had to do radiation and chemo. It was rough there for her for awhile.
I'll keep him in prayer.
