My Dad was cleared for surgery! He has esophageal cancer and finished his chemo/rad treatments a few weeks ago. The latest PET scans were negative so he goes in for the operation Wednesday. Still going to be tough for him but his spirits are sky high!

And in other news, I think I mentioned I am newly engaged.. The happy bride and groom to be:

Terrific news Tom.
My Father-In-Law beat the same cancer a few years ago, sending your Dad best wishes for the operation on Wednesday. :rockon:

Also, you and Ms Tom look like a fine couple, best of luck for the years ahead.. :thumbup:

Wow, that post just kept getting better and better. Awesome news about your dad man, really.

Even though I don't know your dad, I too have had family members get diagnosed with cancer and know the roller coaster it is, and know firsthand what a terrific word "operable" can be.

Oh, and congrats on your engagement! She's a cutie!

I am very happy to hear your news. As a gastroenterologist I have found that cancer many times and many people have been able to beat it!

You two also make for a handsome couple. A future in Hollywood maybe?
