As some have heard on the news the past couple of weeks, my Dad has been diagnosed with Stage 3 Appendiceal Cancer (cancer of the appendix). We just got the oncology diagnosis and treatment plan today and he will undergo 6 months of chemotheraphy treatments, every 2 weeks starting in January.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little scared. Still, I have felt at peace since my Grandpa, brother, and Nat gave him a blessing several weeks ago before he had his appendix and tumor removed. I still feel at peace. I feel like he will be ok and although chemo is going to suck, this is not a death sentence and he will be around for a long time still.
Thank to all our family and friends who have been praying for him and us. One good thing about living a public life is that many, many more prayers have and will be offered on his behalf and that can only help his recovery that much more.

I hadn't heard about your dad. I'm so sorry. I'm glad that you feel so at peace about it though. Your dad is a tough guy, he'll be a champ through chemo!
Love you and are praying for you and your family! :)
I HAD heard...like you said, living the public life. We'll continue our thoughts and prayers of your dad and your family. Love you.
When I heard I immediately thought of you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys at this time. Glad they could operate and get the tumor removed. If you need anything, please let me know.
I had not heard about your dad until I saw the news the night before his surgery. I am so sorry Ambra, but we for sure started praying that night and especially that his surgery went well. Which I am asuming it did? We will continue to pray for you guys and him and let us know if there is anything we can do! Love ya!
