Pray!

Life in last one month has completely turned upside down as Dad had to undergo complete gastrectomy (surgical removal of stomach) following the diagnosis of Adeno-carcinoma (type of cancer) of Stomach. The silver lining is that the post- surgery CT scan of nodes and adjoining area is completely negative.

The Gastroenterologist tells a good prognosis in such cases.

Dad was admitted on the night of 11th Oct, he still is in hospital (at MAX Hospital, Saket). Though he was at home for a brief period of 4-5 days 2 weeks after surgery, but some complication happened and was again admitted. One feels so helpless in a situation like this as one can't do anything except believing the doctors and praying to god.

He has been showing signs of improvements. He is like to be back home by mid of next week. Apart from few days where he has bouts of weakness and malaise, Dad remains his animated self on most occasions. His will power and strength is really inspiring.

Please pray for his speedy recovery and prolonged quality of life.
