Cancer has reared its "bald" head!

In April, my dad was diagnosed with cancer.
The cancer is a really rare form of Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma.
There is one doctor in Nebraska who knows the most about this cancer--which isn't too much. The doctor says, though, that it can be very aggressive
and show up anywhere in your body.
It showed up in my dad as a tumor in his ear,
which he immediately had checked...so, they caught it very early.
He had his 2nd of 3 chemo treatments on Wednesday,
and it was time to let go of the "old man" look of a few white whispy hairs
and shave it all off.

I'd say he's pretty handsome bald.
The kids were fascinated with Pop's baldness.
Bryce says "You are just like my daddy, now, Pop!"
He will have 1 more chemo treatment and then radiation.
We are hopefull that because it was caught early,
it can be killed and he will be cancer free.

We all love you, Pop!
