Huge thanks for all the responses to my post that I'm back and well! It's been truly heartwarming. I've always said there's no such thing as "just social media friends." Friends are friends! ❤️ 🐿️
As some of you know, my father was diagnosed with breast cancer back in March. Yes, male breast cancer. Get checked, guys!
It's rare, and usually very bad or fatal because nobody is looking for it, so it's detected late. Fortunately, Dad's was detected early and he is now 100% cancer-free! 🎉
@p3R1n01D numbers.
Yes, it does go crazy fast. It seems a big life event like this should include a lot of contemplation and planning, but it's bambambam xrayCAT scanhospitalknife.

That was exactly it! Kinda like having kids, or choosing a career path. 😂
Dad barely even needed the heavy pain pills for 24 hours, then he switched to ibuprofen. Now he's back to mowing the lawn, at 80 years old! 💪 ❤️
@p3R1n01D @BrazenlyLiberal wonderful about your dad. We should all be doing so well at 80, glad you still have him. ❣️
@CinnamonGirlE @BrazenlyLiberal
Thanks! Yeah, he's a real treasure. ❤️ Don't know who I'd get to mow the lawn without him! 😉 I'm glad he stays in shape both mentally and physically!
@p3R1n01D @BrazenlyLiberal
That's why he does so well. Because he didn't just sit down. Enjoy your time with him. ♥️
@CinnamonGirlE @BrazenlyLiberal
Every minute! Even when he's a grumpy old fart. 😉 ❤️
@p3R1n01D @BrazenlyLiberal
😂🤣, even then! Seriously, glad he is doing well.
The lawn? Really? When he's done at your place, ours is a little shaggy.
That's impressive!
Now I feel like a lazy slug.
@BrazenlyLiberal
Thanks, I'll tell him you said so! I can tell it bothers him that he can't do things he used to do, but I remind him he's doing a lot more than a lot of guys his age. 💪 ❤️
Lazy slugness is allowed, that's what mid-summer is for!
He's doing more than guys I know who are 15 and 20 years younger. Absolutely true,.
@BrazenlyLiberal
Thanks! ❤️ The whole thing came and went so fast, my head is still spinning. Just thankful it all worked out so well!
He had great doctors, and of course great support at home. We live together, partly in anticipation of things like this in his later years.
