Sorry I haven't posted lately, but I'm still here!

 


Hello and Happy December, Stampin' Friend!

Half way through December. . .  Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time. Here's what's been happening.

My father was diagnosed again this fall with skin cancer. Last year in December, he had part of his ear removed because of a tumor. We and the doctors thought they got it all, but cancer is sneaky. It came back on the side of his face in a way that surgery was not an option.

So for the past few months, various of the family members have been taking him to various doctor appointments in order to determine the extent of the cancer and the options for treatment.

We all agreed that a series of radiation treatments was the most reasonable option and we started on that course two and a half weeks ago. My husband and I rented a mid-size SUV so that we could take him to the appointments as he is unable to get into either of our trucks.

Today was the final treatment - Yay! The doctor reports that the tumor is shrinking, and should continue to do so even though the treatments are ended.

This is good news, as we are so close to Christmas.

I hope very soon to get back to creating more hand-stamped cards to share with you. Please check back soon!

Have a Blessed Christmas from our family to yours!
