Hi All,

I have posted once in the past, and keep up with you by reading your posts.  My father was diagnosed in the first of June and goes in tomorrow for da Vinci surgery.  He's going to University of Michigan with Dr. Wood.  It's about 3 hours from our home.

I'm sure many of you can appreciate the feelings our family is experiencing these last hours.

Thanks for all of you and the information you have provided.

Julie

Hi Julie,

I'm so glad treatment time is near.  There will be an element of relief once you take this important step in fighting the disease.

I wish you and your father the very best!  Our thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Please let us know how things are going following the surgery and look to this wonderful group for advice and support along your journey.

Sincerely,

Idaho

Julie,

Tell dad he's in pretty swell hands. David (Dr.Wood) did Paul's surgery. One thing I can say for the man, his continence rates are excellent.

Thoughts and prayers,
Swim
