Hi everyone,

Just wanted to say hi and thank you so much. It's been the shortest 2 weeks I can remember. My dad is healing and for our surprise he walked the first day after surgery and looks so so much motivated and now that he can talk jokes around a lot and is very funny as he usually is so I am very happy. His oncologist said they got clear margins so I am very happy, even though I feel after his recurrence my worries will last for a long time I hope I can find a way to get around them and enjoy each day instead. He had a trach and still has the feeding tube but they are planning on removing both soon because they said he is doing well and can come home this Friday (maybe) which is great. There are many things going on but I guess for now these are the most important to point out.

Cheryl, you were right he is going to have to go through radio and chemo, which makes me happy too and anxious at the same time. Today I asked and his doctor said that his treatment will probably start 4 weeks or so after he leaves the hospital.

Thank you all for your wishes, they really help my dad feel better. It's amazing not to see him depressed like, instead he is acting as very busy businessman. Walking here and there, making sure he does what he needs to do to recover soon. I will print all the new postings.

He also wanted to wish you the best and ask how low will his forearm will take to heal and if anyone knows... ?

Thank you to each and everyone one of you for being there for us.

Love,

Benfry
