I know you're going on vacation soon and I was just wondering how your father is doing. I hope his treatments are going well.

Wow...that's really nice of you to be thinking of us. Thank you!

My father will have surgery on Monday to remove his prostate. We are hoping it is uneventful and that are no surprises, and if so, surgery will be the only treatment required. If everything goes as planned, we leave for Bangkok on the 23rd.

I hope all goes well. That would be wonderful if the surgery is all that is needed. I wish you and your family the best.

Am hoping your father gets will soon, KimJapan.

Thank you

Kim: Sending positive, healing thoughts to you, your family, and esp. your father, from here in Northern, VA.

kim, was eating my way around singapore when i read your post about your dad, but forgot about it until this thread. just wanted to wish you all the best, and hope your dad has a speedy recovery.

btw, my cousin just completed sucessful surgery in la for a similar problem, and he expected home just in time for xmas., so i too, share your anxieties. all the best.

My father's surgery is now finished...what a relief. They didn't find any cancer in his lymph nodes which is very good indeed. We'll have a complete pathology report next week but the doctor said she feels like the cancer was contained in his prostate and hadn't spread anywhere else. I'm very happy about that and I'm sure he is too. Thank you all for your good wishes.

So gald to hear this report. Ditto for my sister's breast cancer surgery- just got back the pathology and lymph nodes are clean. Very much holiday thankfulness flowing here as well. Health is a beautiful thing.

Good news for you too emd!

I'm very pleased to hear the great news. This will surely make for a very happy holiday for you and your family and you can now go on your vacation with a great sense of relief.

emd, glad to hear all is well with your sister as well. It's always welcome news to hear good things concerning our extended Fodors family! Good health to all!

Kim, I have not been on Fodors for a while. (not good source for Brazil) Sorry to hear about your father's problem. Glad to hear that things went well and cancer contained. I guess they will follow-up with radiation and/or chemo just to be sure or maybe no follow-up necessary. We are leaving tomorrow for Brazil to meet Ellen and family. I know you will enjoy your return to Bali. Big news!!@! Ellen is getting a dog (minature Australian sheepdog) who will be with us this summer. So when you visit we will have an added attraction. As soon as you know...send on your summer schedule. Love to all. Elaine

Wonderful news that the cancer is contained for your father (kim( and sister (emd). And, now,Kim I am sure you will have a truly magical trip.

Wonderful to hear about the positive outcomes for father and sister, KimJapan and emd.
