Dear Jennifer,
I just told my wife that I was going to check my email messages again tonight because my cousin's eldest daughter, (Jennifer also), was having her first cat scan after having cervical cancer. She had surgery this summer, and has been going through aggressive treatments. She was so afraid of the results of her cat scan this week. Well there were two messages on my computer...one from my cousin and one from you. And both messages were of great news!!!
I am so glad for your father that they were able to catch this early. Yes it was a good thing that he turned yellow. Unfortunately for me I had a pain under my left rib cage for two years before they found out what it was. I am so glad that they sent me to the Univ of Penn and Dr. Rosato. Your father went through a very difficult and evasive surgery.
Will your father have chemo and radiation treatments? Will they be at the Univ of Penn? I still go there to see Dr. Haller every 90 days for blood work, and cat scans every six months. If your dad goes there for treatments, maybe our paths will cross some day. My next appointment is March 17th.
Tell your dad that I continue to pray for him. I would love to hear from him and how he is doing. If you or anyone in your family have any questions about anything please do not hesitate to contact me. Ever since my cancer I feel compelled to reach out to others with this horrible disease.
Thank you for keeping me up to date on his progress. Take care and please keep in touch.
Best Regards, Russ
