Yes, He is! Dad does indeed have cancer, but it was caught early. It is in one place in his lungs and the doctors are confident that they will get it take care of with chemo and radiation. In my dad's case, pneumonia has saved his life! Had he not gone to the hospital because of his painful pneumonia, he would not have been diagnosed with cancer. I am pained when I think of what would have happened had it not been caught!
The plan is for dad to do chemo and then radiation. They can't do radiation in Calais, where they live, so they will have to go two and a half hours to Bangor. When they begin radiation, they will be in Bangor for a week at a time. This will be hard on my parents, but I am confident that God will be with them.
Thank you to all of you who prayed for dad and mom. We were all scared there for a while and are so much more aware of the fragility of life. I will keep you posted on dad's condition. In the meantime--keep praying!
