re: I just got a call from my dad...

I work as a transplant coordinator (an RN) and prostate cancer is often so treatable that it doesn't even keep men from going on to get a new kidney. Odd comfort, I know.

No kind of cancer is fun. (This, too, I know...) But my point, no matter how poorly made, is that you have every reason to expect that this will be easily treatable. But it's normal to worry, so I wish him, and you, the best.

In my thoughts.
"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

Dad just got the results from his bone and body scans. The cancer hasn't spread so now they are looking at treatment options. They told him that they could:
-operate, which they don't want to do due to his heart problems
-do radiation/chemo
-implant radiation "seeds" into his prostate which would be (from what I understand) radiation that isn't as invasive or debilitating
-Some odd treatment that he could fly to Cancun to do because its not available here in the US
-And of course the old stand-by of do nothing

Dad is leaning towards the radiation seeds. The doctors say that his prognosis is really good and that they should be able to take care of it fairly easily which makes me feel so much better.

Really glad to hear the cancer hasn't spread to his bones! The prognosis seems much better now. Good luck with everything!
