So usually I am a pretty private person when it comes to really personal, emotional things, but I have gotten to know many of you and I really need as much support as I can get.
So tomorrow my dad will be undergoing his sixth surgery in three years. He has stage 4 colon cancer, which means that it has gone to the liver. So he will never go into remission, but they can still control it through surgery and chemo. The surgery today is a little tougher because the doctor has to go in through his back and deflate his lungs before he can operate on his liver. My mom is really having a hard time since, at the last surgery, my dads heart stopped during recovery. We are all going to be sitting in an ER waiting room
tomorrow morning at UW medical center and since my dad believes in the power of positive thoughts and prayers I am asking you lovely ladies for them.
Also every year we do the Mercer Island Run for colon cancer research if any of you want to join us I will invite you when we are putting together our team. Team G-Unit (a nickname for my dad).
Oh Melody, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family tomorrow. I hope your dad's surgery goes well and he's able to Trick o' Treat for some good drugs on Saturday. Big big hugs woman, I'll be thinking of you. Please keep us posted. xooxox
I'm sending all my good juju your dad's way that the surgery goes quickly and easily. He is obviously a tough fighter and I know he will be out of surgery, awake and smiling with you and your family in no time. (((Melody and G-Unit)))
Huge hugs to you and the best of thoughts to your dad. I've been there, in the UW waiting room for cancer surgery (for my husband). They are good. They will take good care of him. Bring something to pass the time with your family, it makes it easier. We played cards and it really helped. Best of luck to you all.

Wishing your dad a quick and easy operation. My dad has gone through several surgies too, and I hate that feeling of waiting and wondering. I hope you have a very uneventful time though.
Melody, all my most healing thoughts are headed to your dad today!! I pray it's a successful surgery!
Count me in for the run next time, I'd love to help you support such a good cause.
