Update on Dan

It has been 9 days since Dan's surgery. He does better and better each day. He walks very gingerly and still has lots of swelling and pain. The doctors orders are to do limited activity this week and then can start adding more starting next week. He cannot lift over 10 pounds for 4 weeks. WOW!!! I did not know that going into the surgery.

We saw the Dr on Thursday for our first follow up and got great news. The cancer was contained within the prostate and did not spread outside. So, there will be no further radiation or chemo necessary. PRAISE THE LORD!!! He has to do follow up tests every 3 months and then every 6 months for another year. If all is well, his numbers should show there is no more cancer. We are so greatful that the Lord led us to finding this early. 10 more years may have caused it to spread. This was not a fluke by any means!!

Continued prayers are asked for as Dan recovers. He has along way to go to get back to himself again. Thanks to all who have prayed.
