I just talked to him. He was treated with radiation for another bout of protate cancer this summer. He just got his blood work back and his numbers are great!🙂 From 6 point something to .08. They’ll take another test in six months but they think the treatment worked and he’s cured!

YEAH! I was very worried about him. But his long term prognosis is excellent. Such a nice way to end the year! 🆒

I’m very happy for you and your family! My mother is also a survivor, so I know how stressful and scary a cancer diagnosis can be - and what a huge relief it is to get some good news. Congratulations on getting such great news!

Hooray for Dad! What a great thing to put behind you in a whole 'nother year. I lost a friend this year to cancer so I’m always glad to hear that someone else has beaten it.

Tell your dad that some weird guy on the Internet wished him a Happy (and Cancer Free) New Year.
