Currently Watching The Bourne Ultimatum By Matt Damon, Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn, Paddy Considine see related

So my dad told me Tuesday evening that the prostate cancer is in the early stages and that it has not spread anywhere.  Dr. Thompsen suggested a robotic prostatectomy to treat my dad.  Because we want to have a kidney transplant at some point, radiation is not a good thing for my dad.  So mom and dad are going to be meeting with Dr. Lobo on Oct. 2 to discuss the surgery and hopefully schedule it.  Apparently, we have to wait 6 weeks after the biopsy to have surgery.  So that looks like the end of Ocotober or 1st week of November.  I'm hoping to fly back for it.  We'll see what happens.

Because of the cancer, a kidney transplant is now pushed back.  Again.  Dad has to be cancer free for 1-2 years before they would put a new kidney in.  So now we hope and pray that Dad's kidney can hold up that long and we can avoid dialysis like the spawn of Satan.  :) So Dad will have to be screened again for cancer and all that hoop-la before they'll put him on the donor list. 

Thank you all so much for the support and prayers and encouraging words.  It helps me.  I haven't had a meltdown since Sunday.  And that's good.
