I'm back to rumor quenching. It seems to be my new Friday activity. Last Friday I tried to turn the rumor mill about my dad into a fact mill by letting you know that he does have cancer, but that it's contained and his upcoming surgery should be the end of this episode.
HOWEVER. It has come to our attention that the type of cancer he has is still in rumor form. So today I'm here to set the record straight. Dad has prostate cancer. This is not to be confused with prostrate, which is not a form of cancer, but how angels fall.
Mom called a few days ago to say that she'd heard it was rumored that he had a much more threatening form of cancer...one that also started with a P, but she couldn't remember what it was. I suggested perhaps the p'stomach or the p'lung or even the p'liver, but she didn't think those were right. But alas, this week I heard the rumor myself - and the incorrect story circulating is that he has pancreatic cancer. That is not true.
So I believe I've set it all straight now. If you have questions - feel free to ask. I probably don't know the answer, but I sure can find out for you!

Oh the usefulness of prayer chains and people just wishing to do good. It always winds up like a game of "telephone" where the end result doesn't even look vaguely like the truth.
Your dad and your family are in my prayers!
LOL - I'd not thought of it as a game of telephone. Oh that is so true in this case!! Thanks for praying for them - for us.
