So grateful — just found out my dad’s cancer surgery was successful! via /r/gratitude

My mom has beaten breast cancer, skin cancer, adrenal cancer, and now she is kicking lung cancer’s butt!

I went to visit her last month and when I got home she called and told me that my dad has prostate cancer, but they didn’t want to tell me during my visit and spoil the mood.

Dad had a prostate-ectomy on Weds and some awful complications that followed. I feel like I’ve been holding my breath.

Tonight he let me know they got it all! Pathology came back great, he is cancer-free!

I’m also so incredibly grateful for modern medicine and cancer-fighting drugs, robotic surgery, brilliant oncologists and surgeons…the list goes on.
