It was a very great shock to learn on Friday night that the baas' Dad had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He is to be operated on in April to remove the cancer and to check if it has spread outside the prostate.
I am fortunate in never having had any experience of this cancer, no one else I have ever known has suffered with it. This however leaves me at something of a loss. Can anyone tell me more about this cancer? In particular, survival rates. I have done some reading up this weekend at the prostate cancer charity's website, but I think if I am going to be as strong for the baas as she is going to need me to be, then the more information I have (even bad news) the more I can help her.
Also, we'd both be very grateful for your prayers for her Dad, John, at this time.
Many thanks in advance for any advice or information
