Update on dad: good news

Remember a while back I said how he has colon cancer. Well after chemo sessions, his primary tumor shrunk over 50%. The other 2 tumors shrunk 30-40%. So he's going to do more chemo and then surgery when they are ready. I request you keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you very much for the support
