> Good afternoon everyone,

>    Some of you know about my dad's cancer, but, for those on the NFB of
> Missouri list, I am going to summarize anyway. Since before Christmas last
> year, my dad had suffered with cancer in one of the lymph nodes, which
> spread from the original bladder cancer he acquired in August, 2008. When 
> my
> parents went back to Wisconsin from Arizona last April, Dad had a 
> check-up,
> and was given at least a year. He underwent chemotherapy until the end of
> August. After my parents returned to Arizona in October,and after another
> doctor's visit the day before Halloween, they found out the cancer had
> spread to the hip bone and to the liver. Now, Dad is given six months or
> less to live. He can get around using a walker and a cane, and it's been 
> an
> effort for him to talk. Since Last Wednesday, he has been under hospice
> care.

>    My parents are flying back to Wisconsin on Friday morning. The closest
> big airport to Hayward, Wisconsin, where their summer home is is
> Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, which means that there is a
> three-hour flight to Minneapolis, and then another two-and-a-half-hour 
> ride
> to Hayward. As it stands right now, all of my side of the family will be
> together, so it will be a bittersweet Christmas for me.

>   So far, Dad is holding his own, but I will try to talk to him tomorrow.
> Please continue to pray for him, and any words of encouragement will be
> appreciated.
>
>    Thank you in advance.
