Jason's Dad started feeling sick in the fall and by the new year it wasn't any better so he went to see a doctor and was told he had a tumor. They flew back from Arizona and he had it removed. After they got it out they did a biopsy and found out it was cancer. But the doctors said it looked like they got it all and his prognosis was good. A few tests and scans later he was pronounced cancer-free! The operation was successful and the cancer hadn't spread to his lymph nodes.

To celebrate this amazing news I had a little dinner party for the family that was close by. It was great night!
