In a state of shock

As the title says, I'm in a state of shock right now. My father has had a minor stroke, and has been in hospital being monitored and treated, and as more tests were done, the doctors also discovered that he has gallbladder cancer. A biopsy will be done sometime today, and the results of that will determine what the next step will be as far as treatment, My Dad;'s spirits seem good considering, but he's not the best patient in the world, which means I don't envy the doctors and nurses one bit. Luckily, I had planned a visit to our cottage this coming Sunday evening, and the hospital is only an hour away from the cottage, so if he isn't out of hospital by the time I get there, I can still go see him during the days and give my Mom a bit of a rest. As soon as I have any more news, I will post it here. In the meantime, prayers would be welcome.
