My family found out he has cancer.

He has his first appointment with the Cancer Agency coming up very soon, likely this week. That’s when he’ll find out the next steps in treatment. 

When he was in Thailand, [only weeks ago] he got a fist-sized Thai Buddhist tattoo for “Protection” near the top of his back. An old Buddhist monk does the tattoo while he chants prayers and blows the prayers for protection into the tattoo. I was surprised to see yesterday that the incision in his back goes right through the tattoo. That monk hit the spot. Gotta be a good omen.
