I got my Dad's health for Christmas!

Posted by JackSmack - December 25th, 2010


I got a great gift. My Dad was diagnosed with colon cancer this November. He just happened to request a colonoscopy and they found it. This was his first colonoscopy, so if your parents are over 50 remind them to get one... When they found the cancer they preformed surgery and took out 13 inches of his large intestine.

It turns out that he had the most aggressive form of cancer and they needed to check if the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes. So they took 42 of them out and tested them. Every one of them came back negative. So he doesn't need chemotherapy.

I got my Dad's health this Christmas, and little else. This year has made me realize how important family is since I live 500 miles away from them. I hope that no one takes family for granted and that you all had a great Christmas.

I got my Dad's health for Christmas!

Now THAT'S a true gift. I'm happy for you. :)

Gosh i hate when people get signs of cancer, its terrible, im happy for you too :) merry christmas

That is awesome, there is no greater gift then the gift of good health :)

:)

Very happy for you and your father. You couldn't ask for any better gift.

I'm about to move to a different city from my family and this really made me appreciate what I'm moving away from!

I'd wish you a happy christmas, but it sounds like you're already having the best christmas you could ask for!

Yeah, I wish a lot that I could be around more. But not much pay on the family farm anymore. Though pay isn't everything.

God the chick in the red looks beat.

That is my niece. She is a year and four months old or so. She had a lot of fun and that is good to see. We haven't had many babies in the family for a while. They make it quite a bit more fun.

aaauuhhh , that is a true gift for christmas :)

im so happy 4 u

Merry christmas Dave, it's great that your dad's ok! :)

This is great news, very happy for you! Merry xmas :)

Glad to hear it, Dave.

That's great!

hahaha!

Dang, must've been hard for you and your family. Good to know that he's alright now.

Merry Christmas Dave!

and i thought i had a shitty xmas cuz i had my wisdom teeth out and my face felt like a hockey puck over christmas..... glad things worked out though - merry xmas!

When you said "I got my dad's health for Christmas" and then I read that he had a form of cancer, I thought it was gonna say you had that same cancer. Thank God I read on. :P

Wow wow wow..your name is Dave??

And after all these years...

Tsk tsk tsk

Sry bro i know cancers sucks alot of my family members died because of it.Thank god your dad is okay

How wonderful he's doing so well! :) Happy holidays, dave! And I'll be sure to subtly bring up a colonoscopy reminder for my folks (lol).

I actually had to have one this year as well. Though it was for another problem. That kinda got my Dad thinking and saved his life. So remind them subtly if you have to but if they don't get it done remind them blatantly if you love them.
