Wanted to give a brief update. My Dad underwent surgery yesterday for colon
cancer. According to the surgeon, all went well, the cancerous tumor has been
removed, the cancer was definitely contained, it did NOT spread at all.
A temporary colostomy has been done for the healing/recovery period.

Everything is okay, as of now. He will receive a round of chemo after this, not sure of when it will begin.
