Asking for some thoughts/prayers for my dad [View all]

It was recently discovered that my dad has colon cancer. Further scans revealed a tumor in his adrenal gland and maybe his lung. The good news is it's localized to those areas, and he still feels good except for bowel problems. The doctor is optimistic that the cancer is treatable. But he will need chemo and surgery. Any thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
