Cancer Sucks

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.
