Brent so sorry to hear about your Dad, any desease, especially cancer is such a cruel and unfair thing, it just comes along and gets you no matter who you are or how good of a person you may be. I've had several folks in my family go through that tuff fight with canecr, fortunately some are surving and others didn't make it. Be strong and give him all the love possible, appreciate him and his life and make him feel safe with the family.
As you stated, Early detection for all medical conditions are paramount, get in a habit of routine exams and check-ups.
Hang in there, Bill
